《The Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Birth of the Blues - Shirley Bassey/Brown

[00:00:07] Oh they say some people long ago

[00:00:20] Were searching for a different tune

[00:00:26] One that they could croon as only they can

[00:00:37] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:40] So they started swaying to and from

[00:00:52] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:57] And this is how the blues really began

[00:01:10] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:01:20] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:26] And they made that the start of the blues

[00:01:37] And from a jail came the wail of a down hearted frail

[00:01:51] And they played that as a part of the blues

[00:02:03] From a whippoorwill out on a hill

[00:02:10] They took a new note

[00:02:16] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:19] Till it was worn into a blue note

[00:02:28] And then they nursed it

[00:02:33] Rehearsed it

[00:02:37] And gave out that news

[00:02:42] That the Southland gave birth to the blues

[00:03:19] And then they nursed it

[00:03:25] Rehearsed it

[00:03:28] And gave out that news

[00:03:34] That the Southland gave birth to the blues

[00:03:47] That the Southland they gave birth to the blues
