《The Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Birth of the Blues - Gordon MacRae

[00:00:16] Oh they say some people long ago

[00:00:27] Were searching for a different tune

[00:00:31] One that they could croon as only they can

[00:00:41] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:44] So they started swaying to and from

[00:00:56] They didn't know just what to use

[00:01:01] That is how the blues really began

[00:01:14] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:01:23] Singing weird melodies

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

[00:01:34] And from a jail came the wail of a down hearted frail

[00:01:43] And they played that as part of the blues

[00:01:52] From a whippoorwill out on a hill

[00:01:56] They took a new note

[00:02:01] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:03] Till it was worn into a blue note

[00:02:09] And then they nursed it

[00:02:12] Rehearsed it

[00:02:14] And gave out that news

[00:02:18] That the Southland gave birth to the blues

[00:03:02] From a whippoorwill out on a hill

[00:03:06] They took a new note

[00:03:10] Pushed it through a horn

[00:03:12] Till it was worn into a blue note

[00:03:19] And then they nursed it

[00:03:24] And they rehearsed it

[00:03:26] And then they gave out that news

[00:03:31] That the Southland gave birth to the blues

[00:03:40] Oh the Southland gave birth to the blues
