The Birth of the Blues - Sammy Davis Jr[00:00:00]
Oh they say some people long ago[00:00:06]
Were looking for a different tune[00:00:15]
One that they could croon[00:00:18]
As only they can[00:00:21]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:27]
So they started swaying to and from[00:00:29]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:39]
But this is how the blues really began[00:00:42]
This is the way the blues began[00:00:51]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:00:59]
Singing weird melodies[00:01:08]
And they made that[00:01:12]
Just the start of the blues[00:01:17]
And from a jail there came the wail[00:01:23]
From down hearted frail[00:01:27]
And they played that[00:01:32]
As part of the blues[00:01:35]
Now from a whippoorwill[00:01:40]
Still I out of a hill[00:01:43]
They took a new note[00:01:46]
And they pushed it in you heart[00:01:49]
And till it was worn[00:01:53]
And into a blue note[00:01:55]
And then they nursed it yeah rehearsed it[00:02:00]
And then gave out the news[00:02:05]
That the southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:10]
From a whippoorwill out of a hill[00:02:19]
They grand a new note[00:02:24]
And then pushed it through a horn[00:02:28]
And till it was worn[00:02:31]
And into a blue note[00:02:33]
And then they nursed it[00:02:38]
Rehearsed it[00:02:42]
And then gave out the news[00:02:43]
That the southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:48]
Then you gave me hum nursed it[00:02:56]
Rehearsed it[00:02:59]
And gave out the news[00:03:01]
That the southland gave birth[00:03:04]
The birth to the blues[00:03:07]
