ฟังเพลงBirth Of The Blues

Oh

They say some people long ago

Were searchin' for a diff'rent tune

One that they could croon

As only they can

They only had the rhythm

So

They started swayin' 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

Singin' 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 the hill

They took a new note

Whippoorwill

Whippoorwill

Whippoorwill

Pushed it through a horn 'till it was worn

Into a blue note

Whippoorwill

Whippoorwill

Whippoorwill

An' then they nursed it

And rehearsed it

And gave out the news

That the southland

Gave birth to the blues

Shout out the wonderful news

Oh

The breeze from the trees

A wail from the jail

A buzz from the cousin of a nightin'gale

And southland

Hello

Hello

Gave birth to the blues
