Racism, heartbreak, misfortune, and personal issues

Were enough to have Muddy, Howlin' Wolf, and Etta singin' the blues.

Spirituals, chain gangs, to work songs in the field

To Bessie, Ma Rainey, B.B. and his guitar "Lucille"

Born to the Mississippi Delta, spread to St. Louis, Detroit, and Chicago, too.

Land of Elwood and Jake-The Brothers, Blues.
