The Birth Of The Blues - The Golden Gate Quartet[00:00:00]
Oh they say some people along ago[00:00:00]
Were searching for a different tune[00:00:14]
One that they could croon[00:00:18]
As only they can[00:00:21]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:29]
So they started swingin' to and fro[00:00:32]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:40]
That is how the blues[00:00:43]
Really began[00:00:45]
They heard the breeze[00:00:48]
In the trees[00:00:51]
Singing weird melodies[00:00:53]
And they made that[00:00:57]
The start of the blues[00:01:00]
The start of the blues[00:01:02]
And from a jail[00:01:05]
Came a wail[00:01:07]
Of a down-hearted frail[00:01:09]
And they made that[00:01:13]
As start of the blues[00:01:16]
From a whippoorwill[00:01:21]
Up on a hill[00:01:23]
They took a new note[00:01:25]
Pushed it through a horn[00:01:29]
Till it was a born[00:01:30]
Into a blue note[00:01:33]
And then they nursed it[00:01:36]
They rehearsed it[00:01:39]
And gave out the news[00:01:41]
That the south land[00:01:45]
Gave birth to the blues[00:01:48]
From a whippoorwill[00:02:09]
Up on a hill[00:02:11]
They took a new note[00:02:13]
Pushed it through a horn[00:02:16]
Till it was a born[00:02:18]
Into a blue note[00:02:20]
And then they nursed it[00:02:24]
Rehearsed it[00:02:26]
And gave out the news[00:02:28]
That the south land[00:02:32]
Gave birth to the blues[00:02:35]
Oh that southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:40]
