《The Birth Of The Blues》歌词

[00:02:44] Oh, they say some people long ago

[00:02:44] Were searching for a different tune

[00:02:44] One that they could croon

[00:02:44] As only they can

[00:02:44] They only had the rhythm

[00:02:44] So they started swaying to and fro

[00:02:44] They didn't know just what to use

[00:02:44] That is how the blues really began

[00:02:44] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:02:44] Singing weird melodies

[00:02:44] And they made that the start of the blues

[00:02:44] And from a jail came the wail

[00:02:44] Of a down-hearted frail

[00:02:44] And they played that

[00:02:44] As part of the blues

[00:02:44] From a whippoorwill

[00:02:44] Out on a hill

[00:02:44] They took a new note

[00:02:44] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:44] Til it was worn

[00:02:44] Into a blue note

[00:02:44] And then they nursed it, rehearsed it

[00:02:44] And gave out the news

[00:02:44] That the southland gave birth to the blues!
