《The Birth Of The Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Birth of the Blues (Live Version)-Sammy Davis Jr.

[00:00:01] They... heard... the breeze

[00:00:02] Through the trees

[00:00:03] Singing weird weird melodies

[00:00:04] And they named that

[00:00:04] Just the start of the blues

[00:00:05] Then from a jail

[00:00:06] There came a wail

[00:00:07] From a down-hearted frail

[00:00:07] And they played that

[00:00:08] As a part of the blues

[00:00:09] Now from a whippoorwill

[00:00:10] Sittin' high on a hill

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

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

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

[00:00:13] You got to believe me they nursed it

[00:00:14] And, they rehearsed it

[00:00:15] And then then they gave out the news

[00:00:15] That the South Land

[00:00:16] Really gave birth to the blues

[00:00:18] From a whippoorwill

[00:00:18] High on a hill

[00:00:19] They took a new note

[00:00:19] And they pushed it through a horn

[00:00:20] Until it was worn into a blue note

[00:00:21] Don't you know that they nursed it

[00:00:23] They rehearsed it

[00:00:25] When they are ready

[00:00:27] They gave out the news

[00:00:30] That the South Land

[00:00:34] Gave birth to the blues

[00:00:38] Oh they nursed

[00:00:42] Rehearsed

[00:00:43] And gave out the news

[00:00:46] That, that old South Land

[00:00:48] Gave birth, birth to the blues

[00:00:51] From a whippoorwill

[00:00:52] High on a hill

[00:00:52] They grabbed a new note

[00:00:53] Oh they pushed it through a horn

[00:00:53] Until it was worn into a blue note

[00:00:59] Everybody they nursed

[00:01:06] They rehearsed

[00:01:07] When they were ready they gave out the news

[00:01:07] That the South Land

[00:01:09] Gave birth to the blues

[00:01:14] Oh they nursed rehearsed

[00:01:22] And gave out the news

[00:01:23] That the old South Land

[00:01:23] Gave birth the birth to the blues
