《Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Birth Of The Blues (Live) - Matt Monro

[00:00:17] Oh they say some people long ago

[00:00:25] Were searching for a different tune

[00:00:29] One that they could croon

[00:00:31] As only they can

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

[00:00:44] They started swaying to and fro

[00:00:50] They didn't know just what they had

[00:00:54] And that is how the blues really began

[00:01:04] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:01:12] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:19] And they made that

[00:01:24] The start of the blues

[00:01:30] And from a jail came the wail

[00:01:39] Of a down hearted frail

[00:01:45] And they played that

[00:01:50] As part of the blues

[00:01:58] From a whippoorwill out on a hill

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

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

[00:02:16] 'Til it was born into a blue note

[00:02:23] And then they nursed it rehearsed it

[00:02:32] And they send out the news

[00:02:38] That the southland

[00:02:43] Gave birth to the blues

[00:02:52] And then they nursed it and they rehearsed it

[00:02:58] And they send out the news

[00:03:01] That the southland

[00:03:08] Gave birth to the blues
