m ngms resented, mmm
They heard the breeze
Through the trees
Singing weird
Weird melodies
And they named that

As the start of the blues I
Then from a jail
There came a wail
From a down

Down-hearted frail

And they played that
As a part of the blues
Now, from a whippoorwill
Sitting high on a hill
They took a new note
Then they pushed it
Through a horn
Until it was worn

Into a blue note
Now they pushed it
Through a horn
Until it was worn

Into a blue note
Everybody they nursed it
They even rehearsed it
When they were ready
They gave out the news
That the Southland
Gave birth to the blues
They nursed, rehearsed
And gave out the news
That the Southland
Gave birth
The birth to the blues

Aww, Aww, Uhhh l
One more time
From a whippoorwill
Sitting high on the hill

They took a new note
Now they pushed it
Through a horn
Until it was worn

Into a blue note
Ah, they nursed, rehearsed
And gave out the news
That the southland
Gave birth
The birth to the blues
Ah! Ah! Ah!
