Matt Monro - Matt Uncovered - The Rarer Monro

Birth of the Blues

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
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 born into a blue note.

And then they nursed it, rehearsed it,
And gave out the news
That the southland
Gave birth to the blues!
They nursed it, they merry nursed it
Then and gave out the news
That the southland
They gave birth to the blues!
