[00:06.19]Oh they say some people long ago
[00:15.58]Were looking for a different tune
[00:18.90]One that they could croon
[00:21.31]As only they can
[00:27.15]They only had the rhythm
[00:29.87]So they started swaying to and from
[00:39.34]They didn't know just what to use
[00:42.61]But this is how the blues really began
[00:51.83]This is the way the blues began
[00:59.26]They heard the breeze in the trees
[01:08.98]Singing weird melodies
[01:12.98]And they made that
[01:17.04]Just the start of the blues
[01:23.05]And from a jail there came the wail
[01:27.82]From down hearted frail
[01:32.58]And they played that
[01:35.66]As part of the blues
[01:40.98]Now from a whippoorwill
[01:43.32]Still I out of a hill
[01:46.35]They took a new note
[01:49.88]And they pushed it in you heart
[01:53.52]And till it was worn
[01:55.79]And into a blue note
[02:00.07]And then they nursed it yeah rehearsed it
[02:05.89]And then gave out the news
[02:10.54]That the southland gave birth to the blues
[02:19.09]From a whippoorwill out of a hill
[02:24.33]They grand a new note
[02:28.44]And then pushed it through a horn
[02:31.35]And till it was worn
[02:33.74]And into a blue note
[02:38.01]And then they nursed it
[02:42.19]Rehearsed it
[02:43.95]And then gave out the news
[02:48.21]That the southland gave birth to the blues
[02:56.94]Then you gave me hum nursed it
