Birth of the Blues - Ameritz Tribute Standards (阿莫瑞兹致敬标准)[00:00:00]
Oh they say some people along ago[00:00:10]
Where scering for a different tune[00:00:17]
One that they could croon[00:00:21]
As only they can[00:00:23]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:28]
So they started swingin' to and fro[00:00:30]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:38]
But that is how the blues[00:00:42]
Really began[00:00:44]
They heard the breeze[00:00:49]
Through the trees[00:00:51]
Singing weird melodies[00:00:53]
And they named that[00:00:57]
The start of the blues[00:01:00]
And from a jail[00:01:04]
Came a wail[00:01:07]
From a down heart frail[00:01:09]
And they played that[00:01:13]
As a part of the blues[00:01:16]
From a whippoor will[00:01:20]
Sittin' high on a hill[00:01:22]
They took a new note[00:01:24]
Pushed it through a horn[00:01:28]
Until it was worn into a blue note[00:01:30]
And they nursed it[00:01:35]
Still it rehearsed it[00:01:37]
And then gave out the news[00:01:40]
That the South Land[00:01:43]
Gave birth to the blues[00:01:46]
From a whippoor will[00:01:51]
High on a hill[00:01:53]
They grabbed a new note[00:01:54]
Pushed it through a horn[00:01:58]
Until it was worn into a blue note[00:02:00]
And then they nursed it[00:02:05]
Oh rehearsed it[00:02:08]
And then gave out the news[00:02:10]
That the South Land[00:02:13]
Gave birth to the blues[00:02:16]
Everybody they nursed it[00:02:21]
Rehearsed it[00:02:23]
And gave out the news[00:02:23]
That that old South Land[00:02:24]
Gave birth to the blues[00:02:27]
