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? |
