The Birth Of The Blues - Gordon MacRae[00:00:00]
Oh they say some people long ago[00:00:16]
Were searching for a different tune[00:00:27]
One that they could croon as only they can[00:00:31]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:41]
So they started swaying to and from[00:00:44]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:56]
That is how the blues really began[00:01:01]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:01:14]
Singing weird melodies[00:01:23]
And they made that the start of the blues[00:01:26]
And from a jail came the wail of a down hearted frail[00:01:34]
And they played that as part of the blues[00:01:43]
From a whippoorwill out on a hill[00:01:52]
They took a new note[00:01:56]
Pushed it through a horn[00:02:01]
Till it was worn into a blue note[00:02:03]
And then they nursed it[00:02:09]
Rehearsed it[00:02:12]
And gave out that news[00:02:14]
That the Southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:18]
From a whippoorwill out on a hill[00:03:02]
They took a new note[00:03:06]
Pushed it through a horn[00:03:10]
Till it was worn into a blue note[00:03:12]
And then they nursed it[00:03:19]
And they rehearsed it[00:03:24]
And then they gave out that news[00:03:26]
That the Southland gave birth to the blues[00:03:31]
Oh the Southland gave birth to the blues[00:03:40]
