The Birth Of The Blues[00:00:01]
Frank Sinatra[00:00:02]
These are the blues[00:00:04]
Nothing but blues[00:00:10]
Oh they say some people long ago[00:00:19]
Were searching for a diffrent tune[00:00:31]
One that they could croon[00:00:34]
As only they can[00:00:37]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:42]
They started swaying to and fro[00:00:45]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:55]
That is how the blues really began[00:00:59]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:01:08]
Singing weird melodies[00:01:19]
And they made that the start of the blues[00:01:26]
And from a jail came the wail[00:01:38]
Of a down-hearted frail[00:01:44]
And they played that[00:01:53]
As part of the blues[00:01:57]
From a whippoorwill[00:02:05]
Way up on a hill[00:02:09]
They took a new note[00:02:11]
Pushed it through a horn[00:02:17]
Until it was worn[00:02:21]
Into a blue note[00:02:23]
And then they nursed it[00:02:29]
They rehearsed it[00:02:37]
And then sent out that news[00:02:40]
That the Southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:46]
They nursed it[00:02:55]
And they rehearsed it[00:03:02]
And that the Southland they gave birth to the blues[00:03:05]
