《The Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Oh

[00:01:48] They say some people long ago

[00:01:49] Were searching for a diff'rent tune

[00:01:49] One that they could croon

[00:01:50] As only they can

[00:01:50] They only had the rhythm so

[00:01:54] They started swaying to and fro

[00:01:57] They didn't know just what they had

[00:01:58] And that is how the blues really began

[00:01:59] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:02:00] Singing weird melodies

[00:02:00] And they made that

[00:02:02] The start of the blues

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

[00:02:03] Of a down hearted frail

[00:02:04] And they played that

[00:02:05] As part of the blues

[00:02:06] From a whippoorwill out on a hill

[00:02:07] They took a new note

[00:02:07] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:08] 'Til it was born into a blue note

[00:02:10] And then they nursed it

[00:02:10] Rehearsed it

[00:02:22] And gave out the news

[00:02:22] That the southland

[00:02:23] Gave birth to the blues
