《Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:03:11] oh! they say some people long ago

[00:03:11] were searching for a diff'rent tune,

[00:03:11] one that they could croon

[00:03:11] as only they can.

[00:03:11] they only had the rhythm so

[00:03:11] they started swaying to and fro.

[00:03:11] they didn`t know just what they had

[00:03:11] and that is how the blues really began:

[00:03:11] they heard the breeze in the trees

[00:03:11] singing weird melodies

[00:03:11] and they made that

[00:03:11] the start of the blues.

[00:03:11] and from a jail came the wail

[00:03:11] of a down hearted frail,

[00:03:11] and they played that

[00:03:11] as part of the blues.

[00:03:11] from a whippoorwill out on a hill,

[00:03:11] they took a new note,

[00:03:11] pushed it through a horn

[00:03:11] 'til it was born into a blue note.

[00:03:11] and then they nursed it, rehearsed it,

[00:03:11] and gave out the news

[00:03:11] that the southland

[00:03:11] gave birth to the blues!
