《Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:01] Birth of the Blues - Perry Como

[00:00:25] Oh they say some

[00:00:30] People long ago

[00:00:36] Were searching for

[00:00:37] A diffrent tune

[00:00:40] One that they could croon

[00:00:41] As only they can

[00:00:48] They only had the

[00:00:49] Rhythm so

[00:00:54] They started swaying

[00:00:55] To and from

[00:01:01] They didn't know just

[00:01:02] What to use

[00:01:04] That is how the blues

[00:01:07] Really began

[00:01:13] They heard the breeze

[00:01:17] In the trees

[00:01:22] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:26] And they made that

[00:01:32] The start of the blues

[00:01:38] And from a jail came the wail

[00:01:47] Of a down-hearted frail

[00:01:51] And they played that

[00:01:57] As part of the blues

[00:02:04] From a whippoorwill

[00:02:07] Out on the hill

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

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

[00:02:20] Till it was worn

[00:02:23] Into a blue note

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

[00:02:33] And rehearsed it

[00:02:36] And gave out the news

[00:02:41] That the southland

[00:02:46] Gave birth to the blues

[00:02:54] Oh the breeze from the trees

[00:02:58] A wail from the jail

[00:03:02] A buzz from the cousin

[00:03:03] Of a nightingale

[00:03:06] And southland

[00:03:11] Gave birth to the blues
