Birth of the Blues - Perry Como[00:00:01]
Oh they say some[00:00:25]
People long ago[00:00:30]
Were searching for[00:00:36]
A diffrent tune[00:00:37]
One that they could croon[00:00:40]
As only they can[00:00:41]
They only had the[00:00:48]
Rhythm so[00:00:49]
They started swaying[00:00:54]
To and from[00:00:55]
They didn't know just[00:01:01]
What to use[00:01:02]
That is how the blues[00:01:04]
Really began[00:01:07]
They heard the breeze[00:01:13]
In the trees[00:01:17]
Singing weird melodies[00:01:22]
And they made that[00:01:26]
The start of the blues [00:01:32]
And from a jail came the wail[00:01:38]
Of a down-hearted frail[00:01:47]
And they played that[00:01:51]
As part of the blues [00:01:57]
From a whippoorwill[00:02:04]
Out on the hill[00:02:07]
They took a new note[00:02:10]
Pushed it through a horn[00:02:16]
Till it was worn[00:02:20]
Into a blue note[00:02:23]
An then they nursed it[00:02:28]
And rehearsed it[00:02:33]
And gave out the news[00:02:36]
That the southland[00:02:41]
Gave birth to the blues [00:02:46]
Oh the breeze from the trees[00:02:54]
A wail from the jail[00:02:58]
A buzz from the cousin[00:03:02]
Of a nightingale[00:03:03]
And southland[00:03:06]
Gave birth to the blues[00:03:11]
