《The Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Birth of the Blues - Shirley Bassey

[00:00:07] Oh they say some people long ago

[00:00:20] Were searching for a diff'rent tune

[00:00:26] One that they could croon

[00:00:29] As only they can

[00:00:37] They only had the rhythm so

[00:00:45] They started swaying to and fro

[00:00:52] They didn't know

[00:00:54] Just what you

[00:00:57] And that is how the

[00:00:58] Blues really began

[00:01:10] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:01:20] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:26] And they made that

[00:01:30] The start of the blues

[00:01:37] And from a jail came the wail

[00:01:44] Of a down hearted frail

[00:01:51] And they played that

[00:01:55] As part of the blues

[00:02:03] From a whippoorwill out on a hill

[00:02:09] They took a new note

[00:02:16] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:19] 'Til it was born into a blue note

[00:02:27] And then they nursed it rehearsed it

[00:02:36] And gave out the news

[00:02:42] That the southland

[00:02:47] Gave birth to the blues

[00:03:18] And then they nursed it rehearsed it

[00:03:27] And gave out the news

[00:03:33] That the southland

[00:03:37] Gave birth to the blues

[00:03:46] That the southland

[00:03:50] Gave birth to the blues
