《The Birth Of The Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Birth Of The Blues - Bing Crosby (本·考斯比)

[00:00:11] Oh! they say some darkest long ago

[00:00:17] Were searching for a diff'rent tune,

[00:00:20] One that they could croon

[00:00:22] As only they can.

[00:00:25] They only had the rhythm so

[00:00:29] They started swaying to and fro.

[00:00:33] They didn't know

[00:00:34] Just what they use

[00:00:35] And that is

[00:00:36] How the blues really began:

[00:00:40] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:00:45] Singing weird melodies

[00:00:49] And they play that

[00:00:52] The start of the blues.

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

[00:01:04] Of a down hearted frail,

[00:01:08] And they played that

[00:01:11] As part of the blues.

[00:01:15] From a whippoorwill out on a hill,

[00:01:19] They took a new note,

[00:01:22] Pushed it through a horn

[00:01:25] Til it was born into a blue note.

[00:01:30] And then they nursed it,

[00:01:33] Rehearsed it,

[00:01:35] And gave out the news

[00:01:38] That the south land

[00:01:41] Gave birth to the blues!

[00:02:45] And then they nursed it,

[00:02:48] Rehearsed it,

[00:02:50] And gave out the good news

[00:02:53] That the south land

[00:02:56] Gave birth to the blues!

[00:03:06] The birth to the blues!
