They say some people long long long ago

Were looking for a diffrent tune

So they started swaying to and fro

They want something that good good

They didn know just what to use

So this is how they started the blues

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 frail

And they played that

As a part of the blues

From a whippoorwill

High up on a hill

They took a new note

Pushed it through a horn

Till it was worn

Into a blue note

And then they nursed it

Rehearsed it

And sent out that news

That the Southland gave birth to the blues

From a whippoorwill

High up on a hill

They took a new note

Pushed it through a horn

Till it was worn

Into a blue note

And then they nursed it

Rehearsed it

And then sent out the news

That the Southland gave birth to the blues

They went to jail got the wail

From a down frail

And you know the sponserman William horn

Got blue not from a whippoorwill

Why he was swaying

High up on a hill

That Southland oh that good Southland

That Southland gave birth to the blues
