The Birth Of The Blues - Sammy Davis Jr.[00:00:00]
They... heard... the breeze[00:00:00]
Through the trees[00:00:05]
Singing weird weird melodies[00:00:07]
And they named that[00:00:12]
Just the start of the blues[00:00:16]
Then from a jail[00:00:21]
There came a wail[00:00:24]
From a down-hearted frail[00:00:26]
And they played that[00:00:31]
As a part of the blues[00:00:34]
Now from a whippoorwill[00:00:39]
Sittin' high on a hill[00:00:42]
They took a new note[00:00:45]
They pushed it through a horn[00:00:49]
Until it was worn into a blue note[00:00:51]
You got to believe me they nursed it[00:00:57]
And, they rehearsed it[00:01:01]
And then then they gave out the news[00:01:03]
That the South Land[00:01:08]
Really gave birth to the blues[00:01:11]
From a whippoorwill[00:01:16]
High on a hill[00:01:19]
They took a new note[00:01:21]
And they pushed it through a horn[00:01:26]
Until it was worn into a blue note[00:01:29]
Don't you know that they nursed it[00:01:35]
They rehearsed it[00:01:38]
When they are ready[00:01:41]
They gave out the news[00:01:42]
That the South Land[00:01:45]
Gave birth to the blues[00:01:49]
Oh they nursed[00:01:53]
Rehearsed[00:01:56]
And gave out the news[00:01:57]
That, that old South Land[00:02:00]
Gave birth, birth to the blues[00:02:02]
From a whippoorwill[00:02:28]
High on a hill[00:02:30]
They grabbed a new note[00:02:35]
Oh they pushed it through a horn[00:02:37]
Until it was worn into a blue note[00:02:39]
Everybody they nursed[00:02:46]
They rehearsed[00:02:49]
When they were ready they gave out the news[00:02:52]
That the South Land[00:02:56]
Gave birth to the blues[00:03:00]
Oh they nursed rehearsed[00:03:04]
And gave out the news[00:03:08]
That the old South Land[00:03:11]
Gave birth the birth to the blues[00:03:13]
