Birth of the Blues (Live) - Frank Sinatra[00:00:01]
These are the blues[00:00:17]
Nothing but blues[00:00:23]
Oh they say some people long ago[00:00:32]
Were searching for a different tune[00:00:43]
One that they could croon[00:00:47]
As only they can they only had the rhythm[00:00:50]
So they started swaying to and fro[00:01:00]
They was only thing to use[00:01:10]
That is how the blues really began[00:01:15]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:01:23]
Singing weird melodies[00:01:34]
And they made that the start of the blues[00:01:40]
And from a jail came the wail[00:01:51]
Of a down-hearted frail[00:02:00]
And they played that as part of the blues[00:02:06]
From a whippoorwill[00:02:17]
Out on a hill they took a new note[00:02:21]
They pushed it through a horn[00:02:29]
'Til it was worn into a blue note[00:02:33]
And then they nursed it rehearsed it[00:02:41]
And then send out the news[00:02:51]
That the southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:57]
They nursed it then they rehearsed it[00:03:10]
And gave out the news[00:03:16]
The southland gave birth to the blues[00:03:20]
