I'm standing by the banks [G] of the Mississippi, in Louisiana, the cradle [C#] of the blues.
That's black music sung mainly by whites.
And we're here to find out the black origins of ruttle music.
I spoke with Blind Lemon Pie.
Well, [G] everything I learned, I learned from [C] the ruttles.
From the ruttles, really?
[E] Yes, everything.
But surely [Gm] you were singing the blues back in the early 30s?
No, I was working on the railroad.
I worked on the railroad for 30 years or more, [D] until I heard the ruttles.
Then I decided [E] that that's my type of [G] music.
I'm going to leave the railroad, and I became a musician.
And I've been starving ever since.
[E] So, where did ruttle music originate?
Next door.
Next door?
Next door to Rutland Orange Peel.

I ain't lying.
He's always [G#] lying.
I ain't lying.

I did, I did, I did.

I did, I did.
