Lyrics The Birth of the Blues - Jr. , Sammy Davis
Oh...
they
say
some
people
along
ago
Where
lookin'
for
a
different
tune
One
that
they
could
coon
As
only
they
can
They
only
had
the
rhythm
So,
they
started
swingin'
to
and
fro
They
didn't
know
just
what
to
use
But
this
is
how
the
blues
Really
began
This
is
the
way
the
blues
began
They...
heard...
the
breeze
Through
the
trees
Singing
weird
melodies
And
they
named
that
Just
the
start
of
the
blues
Then
from
a
jail
There
came
a
wail
From
a
down-heart
frail
And
they
played
that
As
a
part
of
the
blues
Now
from
a
whippoorwill
Sittin'
high
on
a
hill
They
took
a
new
note
And
they
pushed
it
through
a
horn
Until
it
was
worn
into
a
blue
note
And
they
nursed
it
Yeah,
rehearsed
it
And
then
gave
out
the
news
That
the
South
Land
Really
gave
birth
to
the
blues
From
a
whippoorwill
High
on
a
hill
They
grabbed
a
new
note
And
they
pushed
it
through
a
horn
Until
it
was
worn
into
a
blue
note
And
then
they
nursed
it
Oh,
rehearsed
it
And
then
gave
out
the
news
That
the
South
Land
Gave
birth
to
the
blues
Everybody
they
nursed
it
Rehearsed
it
And
gave
out
the
news
That,
that
old
South
Land
Gave
birth,
birth
to
the
blues
