1
Oh, they say some people long ago
2
Were searching for a different tune
3
One that they could croon
4
As only they can
5
They only had the rhythm
6
So they started swaying to and fro
7
They didn't know just what to use
8
That is how the blues really began
9
They heard the breeze in the trees
10
Singing weird melodies
11
And they made that the start of the blues
12
And from a jail came the wail
13
Of a down-hearted frail
14
And they played that
15
As part of the blues
16
From a whippoorwill
17
Out on a hill
18
They took a new note
19
Pushed it through a horn
20
'Til it was worn
21
Into a blue note
22
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it
23
And gave out the news
24
That the Southland gave birth to the blues!
