Birth of the Blues

Oh.... they say some people along ago

Where lookin' for a different tune

One that they could croon

As only they can

They only had the rhythm

So, they started swingin' to and fro

They didn't know just what to use

But this is how the blues

Really beganThis is the way the blues beganThey... heard... the breeze

Through the trees

Singing weird melodies

And they named that

Just the start of the bluesThen from a jail

There came a wail

From a down-heart frail

And they played that

As a part of the bluesNow from a whippoorwill

Sittin' high on a hill

They took a new note

And they pushed it through a horn

Until it was worn into a blue noteAnd they nursed it

Yeah, rehearsed it

And then gave out the news

That the South Land

Really gave birth to the bluesFrom a whippoorwill

High on a hill

They grabbed a new note

And they pushed it through a horn

Until it was worn into a blue noteAnd then they nursed it

Oh, rehearsed it

And then gave out the news

That the South Land

Gave birth to the bluesEverybody they nursed it

Rehearsed it

And gave out the news

That, that old South Land

Gave birth, birth to the blues
