《The Birds Of The Blues - Original》歌词

[00:00:00] The Birth Of The Blues - Jack Teagarden

[00:00:11] Oh they say some dark is along ago

[00:00:17] Were searching for a different tune

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

[00:00:22] As only they can

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

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

[00:00:33] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:35] That is how the blues

[00:00:37] Really began

[00:00:40] They heard the breeze

[00:00:43] In the trees

[00:00:45] Singing weird melodies

[00:00:49] And they played that

[00:00:52] As the start of the blues

[00:01:00] And from a jail

[00:01:02] Came a wail

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

[00:01:08] And they played that

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

[00:01:15] From a whippoorwill

[00:01:17] Out on a hill

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

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

[00:01:25] Till it was a worn

[00:01:26] Into a blue note

[00:01:29] And then they nursed it

[00:01:33] They rehearsed it

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

[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] Gave out the good news

[00:02:53] That the southland gave birth to the blues

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