Lyrics The Birth of the Blues - Hank Snow
They
heard
the
breeze
in
the
trees
making
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
high
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
and
rehearsed
it
and
gave
out
with
the
news
That
the
southland
gave
birth
of
the
blues
That
the
southland
gave
birth
of
the
blues
