The Birth Of the Blues (1999 Digital Remaster) - Louis Prima

They say some people long ago

Were searching for a diffrent tune

So they started swaying 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

Singing 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 a hill

They took a new note

Pushed it through a horn

Til it was worn

Into a blue note

And then they nursed it, rehearsed it

And gave out the news

That the southland gave birth to the blues

And from a jail came the wail

Of a down-hearted frail

Out on a hill they took a new note

Pushed it through a horn

Til it was worn into a blue note

And then they nursed it rehearsed it

And gave out the news

That the southland gave birth to the blues

And they played that as part of the blues

From a whippoorwill

Out on a hill they took a new note

Pushed it through a horn

Til it was worn into a blue note

And then they nursed it, rehearsed it

And gave out the news

That the southland gave birth to the blues
