Lyrics The Birth of the Blues

Oh, they say some people long ago

Were looking for a different 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 to use

But this is how the blues really began this is the way the blues began

They heard the breeze through the trees singing weird melodies

And they made that just the start of the blues

Then from a jail they came away from a down hearted frail

And they played that as the part of the blues

Now from a whippoorwill ooh sitting high on a hill they took a new note

And they pushed it through a horn

Until it was worn ha into a blue note

And then they nursed it, yeah rehearsed it and they gave out the news

That the southland really gave birth to the blues

From a whippoorwill high on a hill they grab a new note

And they pushed it through a horn

Until it was worn ha into a blue note

And then they nursed it rehearsed it and the gave out the news

That the southland gave birth to the blues

Everybody they nursed it rehearsed it and gave out the news

That that old southland gave birth the birth to the blues
