3 Rules For How To SIng The Blues
1. Most Blues begin “woke up this morning.”
2. “I got a good woman” is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in right away:I got a good woman—with the meanest face in town.
3. Blues are simple. After you have the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes. Sort of.I got a good woman—with the meanest face in town.I got a good woman—with the meanest face in town.She got teeth like Margaret Thatcher and she weighs 500 pounds.

Good points. In another genre: one of these days I discovered that it's really hard to find a sad soul song. Almost every song is about how good their 'babies' are, how they make them feel, how great it has been since they've been together. There's rarely a breakup or even betrayal. I found a famous exception though: How can you mend a broken heart - by Al Green.

Would this count as blues?
I woke up this morning,
My hamster had died,
My house was on fire,
My Goldfish had fried,
Called out for my doggie,
Had his legs chewed off in the dark,
So every night we go out now, we go draggies round the park!
Well it started with "I Woke up this morning" and did'nt have one happy thing in it lol :D
