《Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Oh

[00:00:02] They say some people long ago

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

[00:00:22] One that they could croon

[00:01:00] As only they can

[00:01:02] They only had the rhythm so

[00:01:12] They started swaying to and fro

[00:01:18] They didn't know just what they had

[00:01:22] And that is how the blues really began

[00:01:29] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:01:44] Singing weird melodies

[00:02:29] And they made that

[00:02:33] The start of the blues

[00:02:43] And from a jail came the wail

[00:02:57] Of a down hearted frail

[00:03:06] And they played that

[00:03:23] As part of the blues

[00:03:44] From a whippoorwill out on a hill

[00:04:08] They took a new note

[00:04:13] Pushed it through a horn

[00:04:15] 'Til it was born into a blue note

[00:04:19] And then they nursed it

[00:04:30] Rehearsed it

[00:04:43] And gave out the news

[00:05:01] That the southland

[00:05:02] Gave birth to the blues
