Birth Of The Blues, The Lyrics - Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): desylva/brown/henderson 

Oh, they say some people long ago 

Were searching for a diff'rent 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 

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

POPULAR SONG: Travis Scott 'HIGHEST IN THE ROOM' - LYRICS 

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!
