The Birth Of The Blues - Frank Sinatra[00:00:01]
These are the blues nothin' but blues[00:00:05]
Oh they say some people long ago[00:00:19]
Were searching for a diff'rent tune[00:00:30]
One that they could croon as only they can[00:00:34]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:42]
So they started swayin' to and fro[00:00:46]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:55]
This is how the blues really began[00:01:00]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:01:08]
Singin' weird melodies[00:01:19]
And they made that the start of the blues[00:01:26]
And from a jail came the wail of a down-hearted frail[00:01:38]
And they played that as a part of the blues[00:01:53]
From a whippoorwill way upon a hill[00:02:05]
They took a new note[00:02:11]
Pushed it through a horn[00:02:17]
Until it was worn into a blue note[00:02:21]
And then they nursed it[00:02:29]
They rehearsed it[00:02:38]
And then sent out that news[00:02:41]
That the Southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:46]
They nursed it[00:02:59]
Then they rehearsed it[00:03:02]
And they sent out that news[00:03:05]
That the Southland they gave birth to the blues[00:03:09]
