《The Birth of the Blues(Live 1961)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Birth of the Blues (Live 1961) - Lionel Hampton (莱尼尔·汉普顿)

[00:00:30] Oh they say some people along ago

[00:00:37] Were searching for a different tune

[00:00:39] One that they could croon

[00:00:41] As only they can

[00:00:45] They only had the rhythm

[00:00:47] So they started swingin' to and fro

[00:00:53] They didn't know just what to use

[00:00:56] And that is how the blues

[00:00:58] Really began

[00:01:01] They heard the breeze

[00:01:04] In the trees

[00:01:06] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:10] And they named that

[00:01:13] The start of the blues

[00:01:17] And from a jail

[00:01:20] Came a wail

[00:01:22] Of a down-hearted frail

[00:01:25] And they played that

[00:01:28] As a part of the blues

[00:01:33] From a whippoorwill

[00:01:35] Out on a hill

[00:01:37] They took a new note

[00:01:41] Pushed it through a horn

[00:01:43] Till it was a worn

[00:01:45] Into a blue note

[00:01:48] And then they nursed it

[00:01:51] Rehearsed it

[00:01:53] And gave out the hew

[00:01:56] That the south land

[00:01:59] Gave birth to the blues

[00:02:04] From a whippoorwill

[00:02:06] Out on a hill

[00:02:08] They took a new note

[00:02:12] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:14] Till it was a worn

[00:02:16] Into a blue note

[00:02:19] And then they nursed it

[00:02:22] Rehearsed it

[00:02:24] And gave out the hew

[00:02:27] That the south land

[00:02:30] Gave birth to the blues

[00:02:34] And then they nursed it

[00:02:36] Rehearsed it

[00:02:37] Gave out the news

[00:02:39] That the south land

[00:02:41] To give birth to the blues
