The Birth of the Blues - Keely Smith[00:00:00]
They say some people long long long ago[00:00:06]
Were looking for a diffrent tune[00:00:11]
So they started swaying to and fro[00:00:16]
They want something that's good good[00:00:20]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:26]
So this is how they started the blues[00:00:30]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:00:33]
Singing weird melodies[00:00:40]
And they made that the start of the blues[00:00:45]
And from a jail came the wail[00:00:53]
Of a down-hearted frail[00:00:58]
And they played that[00:01:03]
As a part of the blues[00:01:06]
From a whippoorwill[00:01:11]
High up on a hill[00:01:13]
They took a new note[00:01:18]
Pushed it through a horn[00:01:21]
Till it was worn[00:01:24]
Into a blue note[00:01:27]
And then they nursed it[00:01:30]
Rehearsed it[00:01:35]
And sent out that news[00:01:37]
That the Southland gave birth to the blues[00:01:42]
From a whippoorwill[00:01:49]
High up on a hill[00:01:51]
They took a new note[00:01:53]
Pushed it through a horn[00:01:56]
Till it was worn[00:01:58]
Into a blue note[00:02:00]
And then they nursed it[00:02:02]
Rehearsed it[00:02:07]
And then sent out the news[00:02:09]
That the Southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:14]
They went to jail got the wail[00:02:21]
From a down-hearted frail[00:02:23]
And you know the sponserman William horn[00:02:25]
Got blue not from a whippoorwill[00:02:27]
Why he was swaying[00:02:29]
High up on a hill[00:02:30]
That's Southland oh that's good Southland[00:02:31]
That's Southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:35]
