But we can still see a burgeoning of blues since a lot of blues songs had four lines. Hooker's "Dimples" used a line repeated 5 times and then tagged:
Well, I like the way you walk Well, I like the way you walk Well, I like the way you walk Well, I like the way you walk Well, I like the way you walk You're my babe I got my eyes on you.
And the Zip Coon lyrics are closer to a traditional blues format than "Dimples."
