Birth Of The Blues - Johnny Hartman[00:00:00]
Oh they say some people long ago[00:00:10]
Were searching for a diffrent tune[00:00:21]
One that they could croon[00:00:24]
As only they can[00:00:26]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:32]
So they started swaying to and fro[00:00:36]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:44]
That is how the blues really began[00:00:47]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:00:56]
Singing weird melodies[00:01:03]
And they made that the start of the blues[00:01:06]
And from a jail came the wail[00:01:15]
Of a down-hearted frail[00:01:21]
But they played that[00:01:24]
As part of the blues[00:01:27]
From a whippoorwill[00:01:32]
Out on a hill[00:01:34]
They took a new note[00:01:37]
Pushed it through a horn[00:01:40]
Til it was worn[00:01:43]
Into a blue note[00:01:45]
And then they nursed it rehearsed it[00:01:49]
And they gave out the news[00:01:54]
That the southland gave birth to the blues[00:01:59]
From a whippoorwill[00:02:06]
Out on a hill[00:02:09]
They took a new note[00:02:12]
Pushed it through a horn[00:02:15]
Til it was worn[00:02:18]
Into a blue note[00:02:20]
And then they nursed it rehearsed it[00:02:23]
And they gave out the news[00:02:29]
That the southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:33]
That the southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:42]
