BIRTHPLACE OF THE BLUES
MUSIC BY: KEN DAMKIER
LYRICS, VOCAL BY: ANGIE OWENS
.............................................................................
I’m gonna take a little trip
Down to Mississippi
Visit the birthplace of the blues
I want to stand on the ground
Where they made that sound
Dig down and find my musical roots
Well, they say it gets pretty hot
But I’m gonna stand on the very spot
Where the Devil and Mr. Johnson
Had their little rendezvous
Then I’ll head down South
To the Mississippi’s mouth
Where it empties out into the sea
I’m gonna follow that river
While it gets bigger and bigger
All the way down to
New Orleans
I’ll play the juke joints and dives
Up and down and on both sides
just like the Delta Kings and Queens
BGV – (Take a little trip
Down to Mississipp)
Visit the birthplace of the blues
I’m going to follow that river
While it gets bigger and bigger
I want to find my musical roots
I’m gonna play my slide
Make my guitar cry
Like Elmore James I Believe I’ll
Dust My Broom
(Slide Guitar Lead)
Why don’t you all come and go with me (spoken)
I’ll sing songs about living
Songs about dying
And songs about what happens in between
I want to stand on that ground
Where they made that sound
Dig down and find my musical roots
I’m gonna pay my dues
To that slow burning groove
At the Birthplace of the Blues
