The Birth of the Blues - Sammy Davis Jr./Count Basie (贝西·伯爵)[00:00:00]
Oh, they say some people long ago[00:00:06]
Were looking for a diffrent tune[00:00:15]
One that they could croon[00:00:18]
As only they can[00:00:21]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:26]
So they started swaying to and fro[00:00:30]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:39]
But This is how the blues really began[00:00:42]
This is the way the blues began[00:00:51]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:00:59]
Singing weird melodies[00:01:08]
And they made that just the start of the blues[00:01:12]
And from a jail there came a wail[00:01:22]
From down hearted frail[00:01:27]
And they played that[00:01:32]
As part of the blues[00:01:35]
Now From a whippoorwill blues[00:01:40]
High on a hill[00:01:43]
They took a new note[00:01:45]
And they pushed it through a horn[00:01:49]
And till it was worn[00:01:53]
And Into one blue note[00:01:55]
And then they nursed it, yeah rehearsed it[00:01:59]
And then gave out the news[00:02:05]
That the southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:09]
From a whippoorwill Out on a hill[00:02:19]
They brought a new note[00:02:23]
And then pushed it through a horn[00:02:27]
And till it was worn[00:02:30]
And into a blue note[00:02:33]
And then they nursed it, go rehearsed it[00:02:37]
And then gave out the news[00:02:43]
That the southland gave birth to the blues[00:02:47]
Everybody[00:02:56]
Then nursed it, rehearsed it[00:02:57]
And gave out the news[00:03:00]
That the Southland gave birth[00:03:03]
The birth to the blues[00:03:06]
