《The Birth Of The Blues》歌词

[00:00:02] The Birth Of The Blues - Sammy Davis Jr./The Modernaires

[00:00:06] Oh they say some people along ago

[00:00:15] Where lookin' for a different tune

[00:00:18] One that they could coon

[00:00:21] As only they can

[00:00:27] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:29] So they started swingin' to and fro

[00:00:39] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:42] But this is how the blues

[00:00:45] Really began

[00:00:51] This is the way the blues began

[00:00:59] They heard the breeze

[00:01:06] Through the trees

[00:01:08] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:12] And they named that

[00:01:16] Just the start of the blues

[00:01:22] Then from a jail

[00:01:25] There came a wail

[00:01:27] From a down heart frail

[00:01:32] And they played that

[00:01:35] As a part of the blues

[00:01:40] Now from a whippoorwill

[00:01:43] Sittin' high on a hill

[00:01:46] They took a new note

[00:01:49] And they pushed it through a horn

[00:01:53] Until it was worn and into a blue note

[00:01:59] And then they nursed it

[00:02:02] Yeah rehearsed it

[00:02:05] And then gave out the news

[00:02:10] That the south land

[00:02:13] Really gave birth to the blues

[00:02:18] From a whippoorwill

[00:02:21] High on a hill

[00:02:23] They grabbed a new note

[00:02:28] And they pushed it through a horn

[00:02:30] Until it was worn and into a blue note

[00:02:37] And then they nursed it

[00:02:40] Oh rehearsed it

[00:02:43] And then gave out the news

[00:02:47] That the south land

[00:02:51] Gave birth to the blues

[00:02:56] Everybody they nursed it

[00:02:59] Rehearsed it

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

[00:03:03] That that old south land

[00:03:05] Gave birth the birth to the blues
