Malcolm Douglas	Origins: the rout for the blues (16)	RE: Origins: the rout for the blues	06 Jan 09
Number 21098 in the Roud Folk Song Index. An anonymous broadside song of the early 19th century. Several editions can be seen at Bodleian Library Broadside Ballads: Success to the Blues A transcription from the Robin and Barry Dransfield recording (well known back in the 1970s) was posted here some years ago; not too easy to find as there seems to be something wrong with the onsite search engine at the moment. You can see it at Post Lyrics 'The Rout of the Blues'. I don't recall if the Dransfields said which traditional version they had arranged, and the discussion doesn't tell us. One from the Sharp collection I suspect, given the opening line.
