The Birth Of The Blues - Harry Richman[00:00:00]
Oh they say some people along ago[00:00:04]
Were searching for a different tune[00:00:10]
One that they could croon[00:00:13]
As only they can[00:00:15]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:18]
So they started swingin' to and fro[00:00:20]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:26]
That is how the blues[00:00:28]
Really began[00:00:31]
They heard the breeze[00:00:34]
In the trees[00:00:37]
Singing weird melodies[00:00:39]
And they named that[00:00:43]
The start of the blues[00:00:46]
Then from a jail[00:00:50]
Came a wail[00:00:53]
Of a down-hearted frail[00:00:55]
And they played that[00:00:59]
As a part of the blues[00:01:02]
From a whippoorwill[00:01:07]
Out in a hill[00:01:09]
They took a new note[00:01:11]
Pushed it through a horn[00:01:15]
Till it was a worn[00:01:18]
Into a blue note[00:01:20]
And then they nursed it[00:01:23]
They rehearsed it[00:01:26]
And gave out the hew[00:01:29]
That the south land[00:01:32]
Gave birth to the blues[00:01:35]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:01:39]
They were singing weird melodies[00:01:45]
And they took that and[00:01:48]
Made that the start of the blues[00:01:50]
And then from a jail came a little for long wail[00:01:55]
From a down-hearted frail[00:02:01]
And they played that and made it part of the blues[00:02:04]
And then from a little whippoorwill[00:02:11]
That were singing in the hill[00:02:14]
They took a sweet new note[00:02:17]
And they pushed it in a horn[00:02:20]
'Til it was worn into a wonderful blue note[00:02:22]
And then then they nursed it[00:02:27]
They nursed it[00:02:30]
Rehearsed it[00:02:31]
Rehearsed it[00:02:32]
And then gave out the news[00:02:33]
That the southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:37]
