Hollers and Blues |
||
Blues jumped a rabbit and run him for a solid mile. When the blues overtook him, he cried like a baby child.
6 When a woman gets the blues, she hang her head and cry, Doggone my soul, hey, Lordy, Lordy, Woman get the blues, she hang her head and cry, When a man gets the blues he catch that train and rides. |

I'M A STRANGER HERE
/. No. 541. Ace. on guitar and sung- by Mrs. Louise Henson, San Antonio, Texas, 1937.
They say Bix Beiderbecke has been the only white man who could sing the blues. We submit that this is a limited view, for the blues have been for some time common property of Negro and white singers, although the creative source has been with the Negroes until recently. The two following tunes of Mrs. Henson's, a San Antonio "hill-billy" singer, are of Negro derivation 3 yet despite their texts they show a developing quality quite their own. |
