paroles de chanson The Birth of the Blues - Dinah Washington

They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
So they called it the start of the blues

Then from the jail came a wail
Of a down hearted frail
So they took and they sit out
And they made it a part of the blues

Oooh from a whippoorwill high on a hill,
They took a new note,
They shuffed it through a horn
'Til it was born into a blue note

Yes, yes they nursed it
And they rehearsed it,
Then gave out with the news
That the southland
Had discovered the blues!

Oh this is how the blues began
I hope you understand
That I don't hurt anymore
All my tear drops are dry
No more walking a flaw
With that burning inside
Just to think it could be
Well time has opened the door
And at last I am free
Noo I don't hurt anymore
Noo I used to deny
I wanted to die
The day you said we were true
But now I find you are out of my mind
And I can't beleive that it's true
I've forgetten somehow
Yes, how I cancelled before
Well, it's wonderful now
That I don't hurt anymore
Yes, it's wonderful now
That I don't hurt anymore
