Birth Of The Blues Lyrics - Singles - Oscar Peterson

Oh! they say some people long ago 

Were searching for a diff'rent 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 

And 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 out on a hill 

They took a new note 

Pushed it through a horn 

'til it was born into a blue note 

 

Photos 

 

And then they nursed it, rehearsed it 

And gave out the news 

That the southland 

Gave birth to the blues!
