Lyrics:
Oh! they say some people long ago Were searching for a different 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. And from a jail came the wail Of a down hearted 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!
