The Birth Of The Blues - Bing Crosby (本·考斯比)/Helen Forrest[00:00:00]
Oh they say some darkness long ago[00:00:11]
Were searching for a diff'rent tune[00:00:18]
One that they could croon[00:00:20]
As only they can[00:00:22]
They only had the rhythm so[00:00:25]
They started swaying to and fro[00:00:29]
They didn't know just what they to you[00:00:33]
And that is how the blues really began[00:00:35]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:00:41]
Singing weird melodies[00:00:45]
And they played that[00:00:49]
As the start of the blues[00:00:52]
And from a jail came the wail[00:01:01]
Of a down hearted frail[00:01:04]
And they played that[00:01:08]
As part of the blues[00:01:11]
From a whippoorwill out on a hill[00:01:15]
They took a new note[00:01:20]
Pushed it through a horn 'til it was born[00:01:23]
Into a blue note[00:01:27]
And then they nursed it rehearsed it[00:01:30]
And gave out the news[00:01:36]
That the south land[00:01:39]
Gave birth to the blues[00:01:42]
And then they nursed it rehearsed it[00:02:46]
And gave out the good news[00:02:51]
That the south land[00:02:54]
Gave birth to the blues[00:02:57]
The birth to the blues[00:03:07]
