《Birth of the Blues (Remastered)》歌词

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

[00:00:15] Were searching for a diff'rent tune

[00:00:24] One that they could croon

[00:00:35] As only they can

[00:00:43] They only had the rhythm so

[00:00:51] They started swaying to and fro

[00:01:06] They didn't know just what they had

[00:01:20] And that is how the blues really began：

[00:01:28] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:01:38] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:43] And they made that

[00:01:55] The start of the blues

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

[00:02:15] Of a down hearted frail

[00:02:21] And they played that

[00:02:37] As part of the blues

[00:02:57] From a whippoorwill out on a hill

[00:03:10] They took a new note

[00:03:15] Pushed it through a horn

[00:03:21] 'Til it was born into a blue note

[00:03:30] And then they nursed it rehearsed it

[00:03:32] And gave out the news

[00:03:43] That the southland

[00:03:44] Gave birth to the blues
