Ma Rainey, Bessie Smth, Memphis Minnie Big Mama Thornton,Sippie Wallace, Ida Cox Odetta, Miss Etta,Dinah and Billie and KokoTaylor That's why I sing the Blues If you wanta know my story why I sing the Blues Listen to the ladies who came before me Their voices will move you too I sing it cause I like it And I sing it cause I love it That's why I sing the Blues Ma Rainey sang C C Rider and Big Mama let out the hound Miss Etta sang At Last Dinah helped you lay your troubles down It's part of who I am There ain't no law that says I can't That's why I sing the Blue Blues is rock- Blues is roll Funk rnb, Blues is Soul Sometimes lyrical, but downright spiritual And That's why I sing the Blues
