《Birth Of The Blues(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Birth Of The Blues (Album Version) - Sammy Davis Jr.

[00:00:07] Oh.... they say some people along ago

[00:00:18] Where lookin' for a different tune

[00:00:21] One that they could coon

[00:00:24] As only they can

[00:00:30] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:36] So, they started swingin' to and fro

[00:00:47] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:51] But this is how the blues

[00:00:54] Really began

[00:01:01] This is the way the blues began

[00:01:20] They... heard... the breeze

[00:01:26] Through the trees

[00:01:28] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:33] And they named that

[00:01:36] Just the start of the blues

[00:01:42] Then from a jail

[00:01:44] There came a wail

[00:01:46] From a down-heart frail

[00:01:51] And they played that

[00:01:54] As a part of the blues

[00:01:59] Now from a whippoorwill

[00:02:02] Sittin' high on a hill

[00:02:04] They took a new note

[00:02:09] And they pushed it through a horn

[00:02:12] Until it was worn into a blue note

[00:02:18] And they nursed it

[00:02:21] Yeah, rehearsed it

[00:02:24] And then gave out the news

[00:02:29] That the South Land

[00:02:31] Really gave birth to the blues

[00:02:37] From a whippoorwill

[00:02:39] High on a hill

[00:02:42] They grabbed a new note

[00:02:45] And they pushed it through a horn

[00:02:49] Until it was worn into a blue note

[00:02:55] Everybody

[00:02:58] And then they nursed it

[00:03:01] Oh, rehearsed it

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

[00:03:06] That the South Land

[00:03:09] Gave birth to the blues

[00:03:14] And then they nursed it

[00:03:17] Oh, rehearsed it

[00:03:18] And then gave out the news

[00:03:21] That the South Land

[00:03:23] Gave birth to the blues

[00:03:29] Gave birth to the blues

[00:03:48] And then they nursed it

[00:03:51] Oh, rehearsed it

[00:03:55] And then gave out the news

[00:03:58] That the South Land

[00:04:01] Gave birth to the blues

[00:04:05] And then they nursed it

[00:04:08] Oh, rehearsed it

[00:04:09] And then gave out the news

[00:04:12] That the South Land

[00:04:14] Gave birth to the blues
