《Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:02:38] Oh! they say some people long ago

[00:02:38] Were searching for a diff'rent tune

[00:02:38] One that they could croon

[00:02:38] As only they can

[00:02:38] They only had the rhythm so

[00:02:38] They started swaying to and fro

[00:02:38] They didn't know just what they had

[00:02:38] And that is how the blues really began

[00:02:38] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:02:38] Singing weird melodies

[00:02:38] And they made that

[00:02:38] The start of the blues

[00:02:38] And from a jail came the wail

[00:02:38] Of a down hearted frail

[00:02:38] And they played that

[00:02:38] As part of the blues

[00:02:38] From a whippoorwill out on a hill

[00:02:38] They took a new note

[00:02:38] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:38] 'til it was born into a blue note

[00:02:38] And then they nursed it, rehearsed it

[00:02:38] And gave out the news

[00:02:38] That the southland

[00:02:38] Gave birth to the blues!
