《The Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Birth of the Blues - Sammy Davis Jr

[00:00:06] Oh they say some people long ago

[00:00:15] Were looking for a different tune

[00:00:18] One that they could croon

[00:00:21] As only they can

[00:00:27] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:29] So they started swaying to and from

[00:00:39] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:42] But this is how the blues really began

[00:00:51] This is the way the blues began

[00:00:59] They heard the breeze in the trees

[00:01:08] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:12] And they made that

[00:01:17] Just the start of the blues

[00:01:23] And from a jail there came the wail

[00:01:27] From down hearted frail

[00:01:32] And they played that

[00:01:35] As part of the blues

[00:01:40] Now from a whippoorwill

[00:01:43] Still I out of a hill

[00:01:46] They took a new note

[00:01:49] And they pushed it in you heart

[00:01:53] And till it was worn

[00:01:55] And into a blue note

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

[00:02:05] And then gave out the news

[00:02:10] That the southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:19] From a whippoorwill out of a hill

[00:02:24] They grand a new note

[00:02:28] And then pushed it through a horn

[00:02:31] And till it was worn

[00:02:33] And into a blue note

[00:02:38] And then they nursed it

[00:02:42] Rehearsed it

[00:02:43] And then gave out the news

[00:02:48] That the southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:56] Then you gave me hum nursed it

[00:02:59] Rehearsed it

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

[00:03:04] That the southland gave birth

[00:03:07] The birth to the blues
