Songtexte

[Intro]
Oh, they say some people long ago
Were 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 fro
They didn't know just what to use
But this is how the blues really began
This is the way the blues began
[Verse 1]
They heard the breeze through the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they named that just the start of the blues
Then from a jail, there came a wail
From a down-hearted frail
And they played that
As a part of the blues
[Bridge]
Now from a whippoorwill, sittin' high on a hill
They took a new note
And they pushed it through a horn
Until it was worn
Into a blue note
[Refrain]
And then they nursed it, yeah, rehearsed it
And then gave out the news
That the Southland really gave birth to the blues
[Bridge]
From a whippoorwill, high on a hill
They grabbed a new note
And they pushed it through a horn
Until it was worn
Into a blue note
[Refrain]
And then they nursed it, go on, rehearsed it
And then gave out the news
That the Southland gave birth to the blues
[Outro]
Everybody, they nursed it, rehearsed it
And gave out the news
That that ol' Southland gave birth, the birth to the blues
