《The Birth Of The Blues》歌词

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

[00:00:00] They... heard... the breeze

[00:00:05] Through the trees

[00:00:07] Singing weird weird melodies

[00:00:12] And they named that

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

[00:00:21] Then from a jail

[00:00:24] There came a wail

[00:00:26] From a down-hearted frail

[00:00:31] And they played that

[00:00:34] As a part of the blues

[00:00:39] Now from a whippoorwill

[00:00:42] Sittin' high on a hill

[00:00:45] They took a new note

[00:00:49] They pushed it through a horn

[00:00:51] Until it was worn into a blue note

[00:00:57] You got to believe me they nursed it

[00:01:01] And, they rehearsed it

[00:01:03] And then then they gave out the news

[00:01:08] That the South Land

[00:01:11] Really gave birth to the blues

[00:01:16] From a whippoorwill

[00:01:19] High on a hill

[00:01:21] They took a new note

[00:01:26] And they pushed it through a horn

[00:01:29] Until it was worn into a blue note

[00:01:35] Don't you know that they nursed it

[00:01:38] They rehearsed it

[00:01:41] When they are ready

[00:01:42] They gave out the news

[00:01:45] That the South Land

[00:01:49] Gave birth to the blues

[00:01:53] Oh they nursed

[00:01:56] Rehearsed

[00:01:57] And gave out the news

[00:02:00] That, that old South Land

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

[00:02:28] From a whippoorwill

[00:02:30] High on a hill

[00:02:35] They grabbed a new note

[00:02:37] Oh they pushed it through a horn

[00:02:39] Until it was worn into a blue note

[00:02:46] Everybody they nursed

[00:02:49] They rehearsed

[00:02:52] When they were ready they gave out the news

[00:02:56] That the South Land

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

[00:03:04] Oh they nursed rehearsed

[00:03:08] And gave out the news

[00:03:11] That the old South Land

[00:03:13] Gave birth the birth to the blues
