THE BLUES
Blues is a genre and musical form that originated in African-American
communities in the "Deep South" of the United States around the end of
the 19th century. The genre is a fusion of traditional African music
and European folk music, spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts
and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads.

TRADITIONAL
BLUES
VERSES
In the folk tradition, there are many traditional blues verses that
have been sung over and over by many artists. Blues singers, who
include many country and folk artists as well as those commonly
identified with blues singers, use these traditional lyrics to fill
out their blues performances.
Artists like Jimmie Rodgers, the "blue yodeler", and Big Joe Turner,
"the Boss of the Blues" compiled virtual encyclopedias of lyrics.
Turner reputedly could sing the blues for hours without repeating
himself.
Terminology
Traditional blues verses in folk-music tradition have also been
called floating lyrics or maverick stanzas. Floating lyrics have
been described as “lines that have circulated so long in folk
communities that tradition-steeped singers call them instantly to
mind and rearrange them constantly, and often unconsciously, to
suit their personal and community aesthetics”.
