《Birth of the Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Birth of the Blues - Frank Sinatra (法兰克·辛纳屈)/Dean Martin (迪安·马丁)/Sammy Davis Jr.

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

[00:00:15] Were searching for a diff'rent tune

[00:00:19] 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 fro

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

[00:00:42] That is how the blues really began

[00:00:51] That is how the blues really began

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

[00:01:09] Singing weird melodies

[00:01:13] And they made that the start of the blues

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

[00:01:27] Of a down-hearted frail

[00:01:32] And they played that

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

[00:01:40] From a whippoorwill

[00:01:43] Out on a hill

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

[00:01:49] Pushed it through a horn

[00:01:53] 'Til it was worn

[00:01:55] Into a blue note

[00:01:59] And then they nursed it rehearsed it

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

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

[00:02:19] From a whippoorwill

[00:02:21] Out on a hill

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

[00:02:28] Pushed it through a horn

[00:02:31] 'Til it was worn

[00:02:33] Into a blue note

[00:02:37] And then they nursed it rehearsed it

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

[00:02:47] That the Southland gave birth to the blues

[00:02:56] And then they nursed it rehearsed it

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

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