Birth Of The Blues - Johnny Hartman[00:00:00]
Oh they say some people along ago[00:00:03]
Where lookin' for a different tune[00:00:13]
One that they could coon[00:00:16]
As only they can[00:00:20]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:24]
So they started swingin' to and fro[00:00:27]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:35]
But this is how the blues[00:00:38]
Really began[00:00:41]
This is the way the blues began[00:00:46]
They heard the breeze[00:00:50]
Through the trees[00:00:51]
Singing weird melodies[00:00:54]
And they named that[00:00:57]
Just the start of the blues[00:01:01]
Then from a jail[00:01:06]
There came a wail[00:01:10]
From a down-heart frail[00:01:13]
And they played that[00:01:17]
As a part of the blues[00:01:20]
Now from a whippoorwill[00:01:25]
Sittin' high on a hill[00:01:28]
They took a new note[00:01:31]
And they pushed it through a horn[00:01:34]
Until it was worn into a blue note[00:01:38]
And they nursed it[00:01:43]
Yeah rehearsed it[00:01:47]
And then gave out the news[00:01:49]
That the South Land[00:01:54]
Really gave birth to the blues[00:01:57]
From a whippoorwill[00:02:02]
High on a hill[00:02:05]
They grabbed a new note[00:02:07]
And they pushed it through a horn[00:02:11]
Until it was worn into a blue note[00:02:14]
And then they nursed it[00:02:20]
Oh rehearsed it[00:02:23]
And then gave out the news[00:02:25]
That the South Land[00:02:30]
Gave birth to the blues[00:02:33]
That that old South Land[00:02:39]
Gave birth birth to the blues[00:02:42]
