《The Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Birth of the Blues - Keely Smith/Louis Prima (路易斯·普利马)

[00:00:06] They say some people long long long ago

[00:00:11] Were looking for a diffrent tune

[00:00:16] So they started swaying to and fro

[00:00:20] They want something that's good good

[00:00:26] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:30] So this is how they started the blues

[00:00:33] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:00:40] Singing weird melodies

[00:00:45] And they made that the start of the blues

[00:00:53] And from a jail came the wail

[00:00:58] Of a down-hearted frail

[00:01:03] And they played that

[00:01:06] As a part of the blues

[00:01:11] From a whippoorwill

[00:01:13] High up on a hill

[00:01:18] They took a new note

[00:01:21] Pushed it through a horn

[00:01:24] Till it was worn

[00:01:27] Into a blue note

[00:01:30] And then they nursed it

[00:01:35] Rehearsed it

[00:01:37] And sent out that news

[00:01:42] That the Southland gave birth to the blues

[00:01:49] From a whippoorwill

[00:01:51] High up on a hill

[00:01:53] They took a new note

[00:01:56] Pushed it through a horn

[00:01:58] Till it was worn

[00:02:00] Into a blue note

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

[00:02:07] Rehearsed it

[00:02:09] And then sent out the news

[00:02:14] That the Southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:21] They went to jail got the wail

[00:02:23] From a down-hearted frail

[00:02:25] And you know the sponserman William horn

[00:02:27] Got blue not from a whippoorwill

[00:02:29] Why he was swaying

[00:02:30] High up on a hill

[00:02:31] That's Southland oh that's good Southland

[00:02:35] That's Southland gave birth to the blues
