The Birth Of The Blues - Jack Teagarden[00:00:00]
Oh they say some dark is along ago[00:00:11]
Were searching for a different tune[00:00:17]
One that they could croon[00:00:20]
As only they can[00:00:22]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:25]
So they started swingin' to and fro[00:00:27]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:33]
That is how the blues[00:00:35]
Really began[00:00:37]
They heard the breeze[00:00:40]
In the trees[00:00:43]
Singing weird melodies[00:00:45]
And they played that[00:00:49]
As the start of the blues[00:00:52]
And from a jail[00:01:00]
Came a wail[00:01:02]
Of a down-hearted frail[00:01:04]
And they played that[00:01:08]
As a part of the blues[00:01:11]
From a whippoorwill[00:01:15]
Out on a hill[00:01:17]
They took a new note[00:01:19]
Pushed it through a horn[00:01:22]
Till it was a worn[00:01:25]
Into a blue note[00:01:26]
And then they nursed it[00:01:29]
They rehearsed it[00:01:33]
And gave out the new[00:01:35]
That the south land[00:01:38]
Gave birth to the blues[00:01:41]
And then they nursed it[00:02:45]
Rehearsed it[00:02:48]
Gave out the good news[00:02:50]
That the southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:53]
The birth of the blues[00:03:06]
