The Birth Of The Blues

Frank Sinatra

These are the blues

Nothing but blues

Oh they say some people long ago

Were searching for a diffrent tune

One that they could croon

As only they can

They only had the rhythm

They started swaying to and fro

They didn't know just what to use

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

Way up on a hill

They took a new note

Pushed it through a horn

Until it was worn

Into a blue note

And then they nursed it

They rehearsed it

And then sent out that news

That the Southland gave birth to the blues

They nursed it

And they rehearsed it

And that the Southland they gave birth to the blues
