GUEST,Joseph Scott Lyr Req: Blues Ain't Nothin' Else But! (Ida Cox) (11) RE: Lyr Req: Blues Ain't Nothin' Else But! (Ida Cox) 07 Jul 16


Ida Cox was born in Georgia in about 1889 (not 1896) and by her own account began traveling with a minstrel show in about 1903. Lasses White included the stuff about "nothing but" and "heart disease" in his 1912-1913 blues song. The "papa papa papa" stuff Ida sang was similar to stuff in H. Franklin Seals' 1912 blues hit.
