We're together all the time.
The Blues is blue and so am I
So we get along just fine."

This is all I found. The original web page is in Portugese, I think. This is the Google Translated page.

It often pays to try alternate spellings...

"Me and the Dog Gone Blues" was written by Merle Travis. It appears on the various artists' tribune CD "Saturday Night Shuffle: A Celebration of Merle Travis," Shanachie 6006. I found a sound sample at EMusic:

"I once had a baby they called Lucille.
She had a condominium in Louisville.
Everything was peaches 'til her lover come home,
And now I'm all alone.
Me and the dog gone blues,
We're together..."

Here's my transcription:

ME AND THE DOG GONE BLUES
(Merle Travis)

Me and the doggone blues,
We're together all the time.
The blues is blue and I am too,
So we get along just fine.
Ain't never been apart.
I don't never 'spect to lose.
So, pal of mine, you'll always find
Me and the doggone blues.

I once had a baby they call Lucille.
She had a condominium in Louisville.
Everything was peaches till her lover come home,
And now I'm all alone.
