Women of the Blues (feat. Ivy Ford)
Tell who are the women of the blues
Tell me what are their names
Tell me how they made history
Blues will never be the same
Blues will never be the same
Tell who are the women of the blues
Tell me what are their names
Tell me how they made history
Blues will never be the same
CC Ryder's what Ma Rainey's known for
Bessie Smith's friend and biggest mentor
Mother of the blues and the empress paved the way
For ladies everywhere to sing and play
Some folks think only boys can play guitar
(well that just not true)
Well there was Memphis Minnie and Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Well Minnie was ahead of her time
Rosetta showed us how to shine
When she sang "This little light of mine"
Tell who are the women of the blues
Tell me what are their names (what are their names) T
Ell me how they made history
Blues will never be the same
In Chicago, Koko was the queen
Bonnie and her slide guitar well it really made that scene
Marcia boogie piano, the gal can really sing
One, two, three, Do Re Mi
You know what I mean
Let's not forget about the she and they
All the fine musicians of today
Her-story's fun to explore, you'll find so much much
When ladies of the past open the door
Tell who are the women of the blues (who, who)
Tell me what are their names
Tell me how they made her-story
Blues will never be the same
Tell who are the women of the blues (who, who)
Tell me what are their names
Tell me how they made her-story
Blues will never be the same
Tell me what are their names
Tell me how they made history
Blues will never be the same
Blues will never be the same
Tell who are the women of the blues
Tell me what are their names
Tell me how they made history
Blues will never be the same
