Birth Of The Blues
Lyricist:Lew Brown, B.g. Desylva, Ray Henderson
Oh, they say some people long ago Were searching for a diff'rent tune One that they could croon As only they can
They only had the rhythm so They started swaying to and fro They didn't know just what they had And that is how the blues really began
They heard the breeze in the trees Singing weird melodies And they made that The start of the blues
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And from a jail came the wail Of a downhearted frail And they played that As part of the blues
From a whippoorwill out on a hill They took a new note Pushed it through a horn 'Til it was born into a blue note
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it And gave out the news That the southland Gave birth to the blues
