Birth of the Blues - Matt Monro

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

this 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,

and they 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!

And then they nursed it, rehearsed it,

And gave out the news

That the southland

Gave birth to the blues!
