Lyrics Birth of the Blues - Perry Como
Oh
... they
say
some
people
long
ago,
Were
searchin′
for
a
diff'rent
tune,
One
that
they
could
croon,
As
only
they
can
.. .
They
only
had
the
rhythm
... so,
They
started
swayin′
to
and
fro
.. .
They
didn't
know
just
what
to
use,
That
is
how
the
blues,
Really
began
.. .
They
heard
the
breeze
in
the
trees,
Singin'
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
the
hill,
They
took
a
new
note
(whippoorwill,
whippoorwill,
whippoorwill
.. .)
Pushed
it
through
a
horn
′till
it
was
worn,
Into
a
blue
note
... (whippoorwill,
whippoorwill,
whippoorwill
.. .)
An′
then
they
nursed
it,
and
rehearsed
it,
And
gave
out
the
news,
That
the
"Southland"
.. .
Gave
birth
to
the
blues!
(Shout
out
the
wonderful
news!)
Oh,
the
breeze
from
the
trees,
A
wail
from
the
jail,
A
buzz
from
the
cousin
of
a
nightin'gale,
And
"Southland"
(hello,
hello!)
Gave
birth
to
the
blues!
