The Birth Of The Blues – Cab CallowayBy Oh! they say some people long agoWere searching for a different tuneOne that they could croonAs only they canThey only had the rhythm soThey started swaying to and froThey didn’t know just what they hadAnd that is how the blues really beganThey heard the breeze in the treesSinging weird melodiesAnd they made thatThe start of the bluesAnd from a jail came the wailOf a down hearted frailAnd they played thatAs part of the bluesFrom a whippoorwill out on a hillThey took a new notePushed it through a horn‘Til it was born into a blue noteAnd then they nursed it, rehearsed itAnd gave out the newsThat the southlandGave birth to the blues! www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
