Birth of the Blues |
| Oh they say some people long ago |
| Were searching for a different tune |
| One that they could croon as only they can |
| 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 |
| Pushed it through a horn till it was worn into a blue note |
| And then they nursed it, rehearsed it |
| And gave out the news |
| That the Southland gave birth to the blues |
