《The Birth Of The Blues(78rpm Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] The Birth Of The Blues

[00:00:02] Frank Sinatra

[00:00:04] These are the blues

[00:00:10] Nothing but blues

[00:00:19] Oh they say some people long ago

[00:00:31] Were searching for a diffrent tune

[00:00:34] One that they could croon

[00:00:37] As only they can

[00:00:42] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:45] They started swaying to and fro

[00:00:55] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:59] That is how the blues really began

[00:01:08] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:01:19] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:26] And they made that the start of the blues

[00:01:38] And from a jail came the wail

[00:01:44] Of a down-hearted frail

[00:01:53] And they played that

[00:01:57] As part of the blues

[00:02:05] From a whippoorwill

[00:02:09] Way up on a hill

[00:02:11] They took a new note

[00:02:17] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:21] Until it was worn

[00:02:23] Into a blue note

[00:02:29] And then they nursed it

[00:02:37] They rehearsed it

[00:02:40] And then sent out that news

[00:02:46] That the Southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:55] They nursed it

[00:03:02] And they rehearsed it

[00:03:05] And that the Southland they gave birth to the blues
