《Birth of the Blues(Take 2)》歌词

[00:00:00] Birth of the Blues(Take 2) - Johnny Hartman

[00:00:03] Oh they say some people along ago

[00:00:13] Where lookin' for a different tune

[00:00:16] One that they could coon

[00:00:20] As only they can

[00:00:23] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:27] So they started swingin' to and fro

[00:00:35] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:38] But this is how the blues

[00:00:41] Really began

[00:00:46] This is the way the blues began

[00:00:50] They heard the breeze

[00:00:51] Through the trees

[00:00:53] Singing weird melodies

[00:00:57] And they named that

[00:01:01] Just the start of the blues

[00:01:06] Then from a jail

[00:01:09] There came a wail

[00:01:13] From a down-heart frail

[00:01:17] And they played that

[00:01:20] As a part of the blues

[00:01:25] Now from a whippoorwill

[00:01:28] Sittin' high on a hill

[00:01:31] They took a new note

[00:01:34] And they pushed it through a horn

[00:01:38] Until it was worn into a blue note

[00:01:43] And they nursed it

[00:01:47] Yeah rehearsed it

[00:01:49] And then gave out the news

[00:01:54] That the South Land

[00:01:57] Really gave birth to the blues

[00:02:02] From a whippoorwill

[00:02:05] High on a hill

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

[00:02:11] And they pushed it through a horn

[00:02:14] Until it was worn into a blue note

[00:02:20] And then they nursed it

[00:02:23] Oh rehearsed it

[00:02:25] And then gave out the news

[00:02:30] That the South Land

[00:02:33] Gave birth to the blues

[00:02:39] That that old South Land

[00:02:42] Gave birth birth to the blues
