Benny Turner - Who Sang It First Lyrics

In the churches
In the cotton fields
A seed was planted
That forever yields
Soul from heaven
And blues from the earth
Can't put a price on what it's worth

My friends it's clearly undeniable
Those old blues legends
They were so beautiful
You might sing it better
Or you might sing it worse
Just remember who sang it first

Songs that make you laugh
Songs that make you cry
Just remember who sang it first

You mix and match
And you replace a word or two
Telling yourself
That you've found something new
And then you sing it better
Or you might sing it worse
Just remember who sang it first

Just remember who sang it first
Just remember who when you pick up your guitar
Just remember who when you sing your low down dirty blues
Just remember who sang it first
