Birth Of The Blues - Live At The Villa Venice Night Club, Chicago, IL/1962
Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin & Sammy Davis Jr.
Oh, they say some people long ago Were searching 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 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
And from a jail came the wail Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
