Max Bygraves - The Birth of the Blues/September Song/Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime? lyrics
The Birth of the Blues
They heard the breeze in the trees, singin' 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 a part of the blues
From a whippoorwill way upon a hill they took a new note
Pushed it through a horn until it was worn into a blue note
And then they nursed it, they rehearsed it and gave out that news
That the Southland gave birth to the blues
September Song
But, it's a long, long while from May to December
but the days grow short
when you reach September
When the autumn weather
turns the leaves to flame
And I haven't got time
For the waiting game
Oh the days dwindle down
Towards a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you
These golden hours I'll spend with you.
Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime?
Once I built a railroad
I made it run
Made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad
Now it's done
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower up to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime.
Once I built a tower,
Now it's done.
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits
Gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodle dee dum.
Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell
And I was the kid with the drum!
Say don't you remember?
They called me Al.
It was Al all the time.
Why don't you remember?
I'm your pal.
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
