lirik lagu langston hughes - the story of the blues
n0body knows who first made up the songs called the blues, but their three~line, 12~bar form has since become a standard pattern in american music. certainly the blues show traces of the work songs, the field hollers and the plantation cries of the deep south. the blues. maybe one hot day, a man was working in a rice field, when a song came into his head, then out of his mouth, a song with words, perhaps like this: “oh, the sun is so hot, and the day is so doggone long.” then, when he couldn’t think of anything elsе right away to go with it, he repeatеd the same lines. “yes, the sun is so hot, and the day is so doggone long.” but by that time, maybe he had a new thought. so he sang, “and that is the reason i’m singing this doggone song.” something like that must have happened the day the first blues was born, for that is the pattern of the blues, a 12~bar musical pattern, one long line of four bars, which is repeated, words and music, then a third line of four bars to rhyme lyrically with the first two lines that are always the same. the melody and beat of the blues are not unlike those of a field holler. perhaps thousands of blues are made up in this way in the fields or on the levees to relieve the monotony of working, to express some thought passing through the singer’s mind, or just for fun
