[00:00:00] Birth of the Blues(Bonus Track - Take 1) - Johnny Hartman

[00:00:10] Oh they say some people long ago

[00:00:21] Were searching for a diffrent tune

[00:00:24] One that they could croon

[00:00:26] As only they can

[00:00:32] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:36] So they started swaying to and fro

[00:00:44] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:47] That is how the blues really began

[00:00:56] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:01:03] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:06] And they made that the start of the blues

[00:01:15] And from a jail came the wail

[00:01:20] Of a down-hearted frail

[00:01:24] But they played that

[00:01:27] As part of the blues

[00:01:32] From a whippoorwill

[00:01:34] Out on a hill

[00:01:37] They took a new note

[00:01:40] Pushed it through a horn

[00:01:43] Til it was worn

[00:01:45] Into a blue note

[00:01:49] And then they nursed it rehearsed it

[00:01:54] And they gave out the news

[00:01:59] That the southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:06] From a whippoorwill

[00:02:09] Out on a hill

[00:02:12] They took a new note

[00:02:15] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:18] Til it was worn

[00:02:20] Into a blue note

[00:02:23] And then they nursed it rehearsed it

[00:02:29] And they gave out the news

[00:02:33] That the southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:42] That the southland gave birth to the blues
