《The Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Birth of the Blues - Sammy Davis Jr.

[00:00:06] Oh, they say some people long ago

[00:00:15] Were looking for a diffrent tune

[00:00:18] One that they could croon

[00:00:21] As only they can

[00:00:27] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:29] So they started swaying to and fro

[00:00:39] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:42] But That is how the blues really began

[00:00:51] That is way the blues really began

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

[00:01:08] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:12] And they made that the start of the blues

[00:01:22] And from a jail there came the wail

[00:01:27] From down hearted frail

[00:01:32] And they played that

[00:01:35] As part of the blues

[00:01:40] Now From a whippoorwill blues

[00:01:43] Out on a hill

[00:01:45] They took a new note

[00:01:49] And Pushed it through a horn

[00:01:52] And Til it was worn

[00:01:55] And Into one blue note

[00:01:59] And then they nursed it, yeah rehearsed it

[00:02:05] And then gave out the news

[00:02:10] That the southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:18] From a whippoorwill Out on a hill

[00:02:23] They took a new note

[00:02:27] And then Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:30] And Til it was worn

[00:02:33] And Into a blue note

[00:02:37] And then they nursed it, go rehearsed it

[00:02:43] And then gave out the news

[00:02:47] That the southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:56] Everybody And then they nursed it, rehearsed it

[00:03:00] And gave out the news

[00:03:03] That the Southland gave birth

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