Birth Of The Blues Lyrics
The Birth Of The Blues - Sammy Davis Jr.
Oh they say some people long ago
We looking for a different tune
One that they could croon as only they can
They only had the rhythm
So they started swaying to and from
They didn't know just what to use
But this is how the blues really began
This is the way the blues began
They heard the way know the blues a way began
They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that just the start of the blues
And from a jail the came wail
Hill of a down hearted frail
And they played that as a part of the blues
Now from a whippoorwill set out on a hill
They bread a new note
And the pushed it through a horn
Until it was worn and into a blue note
And then they nursed it
They rehearsed it
And then sent out that news
That the Southland
We will gave birth to the blues
From a whippoorwill
Out on a hill
They gread a new note
And the pushed it through a horn
Until it was worn
And into a blue note
Then they really nursed it
Then they rehearsed it
And the way so gread
So gread the gave out the news
That the Southland gave birth to the blues
Then you gave me they nursed it
Rehearsed it
And gave out that news
That made of Southland gave birth
The birth to the blues
From a whippoorwill set out on a hill
They gread a new note
I am the pushed it through a horn
Until it was worn and into a blue note
And then they love it gave love it
They nursed it
They been rehearsed it
And then will so band the gave out that news
That then of the southland
Gave birth to the blues
Everybody they nursed it
Rehearsed it
And gave out that news
That made of southland gave birth
Gave birth to the blues
