Blue Was His Name - Gary Crockett Australia

An original Australian country music video about Blue — a kind man with a heart full of rhythm, his loyal blue heeler dog, his banjo and fiddle, and their little blue-painted house by a shimmering lake.

In a little town where the rivers weave, lived a man named Blue...

From golden mornings by the lake, to playing for the town folk under the starlight, to standing brave together through a wild storm with thunder and lightning — Blue and his heeler play on, and their song will go on.

Perfect for fans of classic country storytelling, banjo music, fiddle music, Australian country, blue heeler dogs, and small-town life.

Lyrics - Chorus:
Blue was his name and the blues were his game
He's strum on the strings always chasin' that fame
In a blue painted house by a shimmerin' lake
Under a bright blue sky, he felt no heartache

00:13In Little Town
00:30Chasing the shadows where the wildflowers grew
00:33Every morning together
00:35They'd rise with the sun with the banjo and fiddle
00:38Their day had begun
00:42Blue was his name and the blues were his game
00:45He'd strum on the strings always chasing that fame
00:48In a blue painted house by a shimmering lake
00:51Under a bright blue sky
00:53He felt no heartache
01:01With fingers a-flyin' he picked every chord
01:05The echoes of laughter his only reward
01:08With his blue healer they danced through the grass
01:12Life on the lake like a sweet hourglass
01:15He played for the town folk
01:17He played for the night
01:18Underneath the starlight
01:20Everything felt right
01:22His tunes would float softly
01:24Like a cool summer breeze
01:25With a strum of his banjo
01:27He aimed to play
01:30Blue was his name and the blues were his game
01:34He'd strum on the strings always chasing that fame
01:37In a blue painted house by a shimmering lake
01:40Under a bright blue sky
01:42He felt no heartache
01:57And then one fateful night
01:59The stars sang low
02:01Wild winds blew in with a cold undertow
02:04His dog by his side
02:06No fear in their eyes
02:07They played out a song
02:09Neath the thunderous skies
02:10With each note they spun
02:12The heavens did sway
02:14Blue's heart sang louder
02:16Chase the storm away
02:32Through the pouring rain
02:34He found his sweet bliss
02:36In the howling wind
02:37It was freedom not a miss
02:39With a fiddle in hand
02:41And the blue skies in mind
02:42Every note was a treasure
02:44With the blues intertwined
02:46And though the storm raged
02:47And the skies would turn gray
02:49Blue and his healer
02:51Would always find a way
02:54Blue was his name
02:56And the blues were his game
02:58Each drum on the strings
02:59Always chasing that fame
03:01In a blue painted house
03:02By a shimmering lake
03:04Under a bright blue sky
03:06He felt no heartache
03:09He felt no heartache
03:13So if you wander by that old riverside
03:18And you hear a sweet tune
03:19Let your heart be your guide
03:21You'll find blue and his healer
03:23Under the sun
03:24Playing the blues
03:26Their journey's not done
03:28In that blue painted house
03:30With a lake so deep
03:31Blue was his name
03:33In our hearts
03:34He will keep
03:37Blue with a treasure
03:40Home Great
03:58His health
04:00Ni'll use
04:02at all
