《Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Birth of the Blues - Louis Armstrong (路易斯·阿姆斯特郎)/Frank Sinatra (法兰克·辛纳屈)

[00:00:16] These are the blues nothin' but blues

[00:00:31] Oh they say some people long ago

[00:00:40] Were searching for a diff'rent tune

[00:00:43] One that they could croon as only they can

[00:00:51] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:54] So they started swayin' to and fro

[00:01:04] They didn't know just what to use

[00:01:07] This is how the blues really began

[00:01:15] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:01:23] Singin' weird melodies

[00:01:29] And they made that the start of the blues

[00:01:41] And from a jail came the wail of a down-hearted frail

[00:01:54] And they played that as a part of the blues

[00:02:05] From a whippoorwill way upon a hill

[00:02:12] They took a new note

[00:02:17] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:20] Until it was worn into a blue note

[00:02:28] And then they nursed it

[00:02:32] They rehearsed it

[00:02:36] And then sent out that news

[00:02:41] That the Southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:53] They nursed it

[00:02:56] Then they rehearsed it

[00:02:59] And they sent out that news

[00:03:03] That the Southland they gave birth to the blues
