The Birth of the Blues - Shirley Bassey/Brown[00:00:00]
Oh they say some people long ago[00:00:07]
Were searching for a different tune[00:00:20]
One that they could croon as only they can[00:00:26]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:37]
So they started swaying to and from[00:00:40]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:52]
And this is how the blues really began[00:00:57]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:01:10]
Singing weird melodies[00:01:20]
And they made that the start of the blues[00:01:26]
And from a jail came the wail of a down hearted frail[00:01:37]
And they played that as a part of the blues[00:01:51]
From a whippoorwill out on a hill[00:02:03]
They took a new note[00:02:10]
Pushed it through a horn[00:02:16]
Till it was worn into a blue note[00:02:19]
And then they nursed it[00:02:28]
Rehearsed it[00:02:33]
And gave out that news[00:02:37]
That the Southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:42]
And then they nursed it[00:03:19]
Rehearsed it[00:03:25]
And gave out that news[00:03:28]
That the Southland gave birth to the blues[00:03:34]
That the Southland they gave birth to the blues[00:03:47]
