Текст Randy Travis – The Birth Of The Blues

Oh they say some people long ago
Were searching for a different tune
One that they could croon as only they can

They heard the breeze in the trees

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 till 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
