I teach a jazz and blues component with a non profit agency to k-8 graders and am seeking blues lyrics for kids.

I make up some, and have the kids do this, but are there already some established or fun ones out there?

I've always thought that Elizabeth Cotten's "One Old Woman" was blues for a child, though she didn't quite play it that way. Know the song I'm talking about? I can post the lyrics/story if you want.

Sidenote: I'm going to hear her granddaughter play some of her music tonight, along with a group sing with some of our other local old-time African American blues and traditional singers. Yay!

Well, it's not ABOUT kids, but I'm sure a lot of them would appreciate

OVERFLOWIN' CATBOX BLUES

For younger kids, there's always "Overflowin' Diaper Blues," of course.
