The Birth Of The Blues - Sammy Davis Jr./The Modernaires[00:00:02]
Oh they say some people along ago[00:00:06]
Where lookin' for a different tune[00:00:15]
One that they could coon[00:00:18]
As only they can[00:00:21]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:27]
So they started swingin' to and fro[00:00:29]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:39]
But this is how the blues[00:00:42]
Really began[00:00:45]
This is the way the blues began[00:00:51]
They heard the breeze[00:00:59]
Through the trees[00:01:06]
Singing weird melodies[00:01:08]
And they named that[00:01:12]
Just the start of the blues[00:01:16]
Then from a jail[00:01:22]
There came a wail[00:01:25]
From a down heart frail[00:01:27]
And they played that[00:01:32]
As a part of the blues[00:01:35]
Now from a whippoorwill[00:01:40]
Sittin' high on a hill[00:01:43]
They took a new note[00:01:46]
And they pushed it through a horn[00:01:49]
Until it was worn and into a blue note[00:01:53]
And then they nursed it[00:01:59]
Yeah rehearsed it[00:02:02]
And then gave out the news[00:02:05]
That the south land[00:02:10]
Really gave birth to the blues[00:02:13]
From a whippoorwill[00:02:18]
High on a hill[00:02:21]
They grabbed a new note[00:02:23]
And they pushed it through a horn[00:02:28]
Until it was worn and into a blue note[00:02:30]
And then they nursed it[00:02:37]
Oh rehearsed it[00:02:40]
And then gave out the news[00:02:43]
That the south land[00:02:47]
Gave birth to the blues[00:02:51]
Everybody they nursed it[00:02:56]
Rehearsed it[00:02:59]
And gave out the news[00:03:00]
That that old south land[00:03:03]
Gave birth the birth to the blues[00:03:05]
