Oh, they say some

people long ago

Were searching for

a diffrent tune
They only had

the rhythm, so

As only they can
They heard the

breeze in the trees

blues really began
They heard the

breeze in the trees

Singing weird melodies
And they made that

the start of the blues

And from ajail
came the wail

Of a down-hearted frail

And they played that

As part of the blues
And then gave

outthe news
Thatthe Southland

gave birth to the blues
From a whippoorwill

High on a hill
They took a new note

Pushed it
Thatthe Southland

gave birth to the blues

They nursed it

rehearsed it
And then gave

outthe news
Thatthe Southland

gave birth to the blues
