Subject: dog blue song

Hello, I try it again,

some months ago I heard a song "dog blue". I don't remember the artist, but as far as I know it was only with guitar. When i did some research in the web I found a lot of songs with that title but not with this melody. I found at least that it was not Jim Jackson, not David Johansen (as far as I can conclude from samples), not Lacy J. Dalton, not Furry Lewis, maybe not Lonnie Pitchford. I only remember the last lines of the refrain "I called him blue - good dog you", or later "I cried blue - good dog you", the melody if written in C would sound like


 
 search Musipedia for this

.

It was a very strict interpretation, very much emotion in the voice but very few notes, very much understatement, the text not including wife and other episodes, but only the good dog, then "when he died - and he died hard - I cried "blue" , at last that he would follow him.

It seemed to me that it was not a very old take maybe up to ten years old.

Do you have some idea where I could find this song?

Thank you

Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

1. Record your audio here.
2. You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
3. copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post).
