"Blue Jeans" ("Fox Trot Song") is a sentimental popular song written by Harry D. Kerr and Lou Traveller in 1920. In the song, the singer is reminiscing about a long-ago young love that happened somewhere in the "hills of the old Cumberland." The chorus echoes the singer's longing:

:"Blue Jeans, the days are lonely,":"Blue Jeans, I dream of you,":"The Wildwood May days and childhood play days,":"Those golden summer hours we knew;":"Songbirds are softly calling,":"Down where the grass is blue,":"The trail up yonder, we used to wander,":"There, pretty Blue Jeans, I'll wait for you." [Kerr, "Blue Jeans".]

"Blue Jeans" was recorded a number of times, including by the Premier Quartet (Victor 18740, November 1920) and the Peerless Quartet (Edison Blue Amberol 4288, August 1921).
