Karaoké The Birth Of The Blues Sammy Davis Jr.

Oh, they say some people long ago
Were looking for a different tune
One that they could croon as only they can
They only had the rhythm so they started swaying to and fro
They didn't know just what to use
But this is how the blues really began this is the way the blues began
They heard the breeze through the trees singing weird melodies
And they made that just the start of the blues
Then from a jail they came away from a down hearted frail
And they played that as the part of the blues
Now from a whippoorwill ooh sitting high on a hill they took a new note
And they pushed it through a horn
Until it was worn ha into a blue note
And then they nursed it, yeah rehearsed it and they gave out the news
That the southland really gave birth to the blues
From a whippoorwill high on a hill they grab a new note
And they pushed it through a horn
Until it was worn ha into a blue note
And then they nursed it rehearsed it and the gave out the news
That the southland gave birth to the blues
Everybody they nursed it rehearsed it and gave out the news
That that old southland gave birth the birth to the blues
