The Birth of the Blues Lyrics


Oh! They say some people long ago
Were searching for a diff'rent tune,
One that they could croon
As only they can.They only had the rhythm so
They started swaying to and fro.
They didn't know just what they had
And that is how the blues really began:They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that
The start of the blues.And from a jail came the wail
Of a down hearted frail,
And they played that
As part of the blues.From a whippoorwill out on a hill,
They took a new note,
Pushed it through a horn
'til it was born into a blue note.And then they nursed it, rehearsed it,
And gave out the news
That the southland

Gave birth to the blues!

Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey, (born January 8, 1937), is a Welsh singer, perhaps best-known for performing the theme songs to the James Bond films Goldfinger(1964), Diamonds Are Forever(1971), and Moonraker(1979). She is the only singer to have recorded more than one James Bond theme song. She now resides in Monaco, and has recently sold her London apartment. Many of its furnishings were auctioned for charity. Two very popular 'Audiences With Shirley Bassey' have aired on British TV, the most recent being in March 2006.
