《Birth of the Blues (Remastered 2016)》歌词

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

[00:00:13] Were searching for diffrent a tune

[00:00:16] One that they could croon

[00:00:19] As only they can

[00:00:23] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:28] So they started swaying to and fro

[00:00:35] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:38] That is how the blues really began

[00:00:46] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:00:53] Singing weird melodies

[00:00:57] And they made that the start of the blues

[00:01:05] And from a jail came the wail

[00:01:13] Of a down hearted frail

[00:01:16] But they played that

[00:01:19] As part of the blues

[00:01:25] From a whippoorwill

[00:01:28] Out on a hill

[00:01:30] They took a new note

[00:01:35] Pushed it through a horn

[00:01:37] 'Til it was worn

[00:01:39] Into a blue note

[00:01:43] And then they nursed it rehearsed it

[00:01:49] And they gave out the news

[00:01:53] That the southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:02] From a whippoorwill

[00:02:04] Out on a hill

[00:02:07] They took a new note

[00:02:11] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:14] 'Til it was worn

[00:02:16] Into a blue note

[00:02:19] And then they nursed it rehearsed it

[00:02:25] And they gave out the news

[00:02:29] That the southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:39] That the southland gave birth to the blues
