Dem lawdy-lawdy blues, all about those cottonfields back home: the Dagenham Delta.

Like you'd expect, most of our home-grown bluesmen were lousy. They'd come out of Surbiton, their hair down in their eyes and their Mick Jagger maracas up by their ears, and they'd sing their blues, dem lawdy-lawdy blues, all about those cottonfields back home: the Dagenham Delta.

N. Cohn, Awopbopaloobop Awopbamboom (1969), 162
