The Birth of the Blues (Live 1961) - Lionel Hampton (莱尼尔·汉普顿)[00:00:00]
Oh they say some people along ago[00:00:30]
Were searching for a different tune[00:00:37]
One that they could croon[00:00:39]
As only they can[00:00:41]
They only had the rhythm[00:00:45]
So they started swingin' to and fro[00:00:47]
They didn't know just what to use[00:00:53]
And that is how the blues[00:00:56]
Really began[00:00:58]
They heard the breeze[00:01:01]
In the trees[00:01:04]
Singing weird melodies[00:01:06]
And they named that[00:01:10]
The start of the blues[00:01:13]
And from a jail[00:01:17]
Came a wail[00:01:20]
Of a down-hearted frail[00:01:22]
And they played that[00:01:25]
As a part of the blues[00:01:28]
From a whippoorwill[00:01:33]
Out on a hill[00:01:35]
They took a new note[00:01:37]
Pushed it through a horn[00:01:41]
Till it was a worn[00:01:43]
Into a blue note[00:01:45]
And then they nursed it[00:01:48]
Rehearsed it[00:01:51]
And gave out the hew[00:01:53]
That the south land[00:01:56]
Gave birth to the blues[00:01:59]
From a whippoorwill[00:02:04]
Out on a hill[00:02:06]
They took a new note[00:02:08]
Pushed it through a horn[00:02:12]
Till it was a worn[00:02:14]
Into a blue note[00:02:16]
And then they nursed it[00:02:19]
Rehearsed it[00:02:22]
And gave out the hew[00:02:24]
That the south land[00:02:27]
Gave birth to the blues[00:02:30]
And then they nursed it[00:02:34]
Rehearsed it[00:02:36]
Gave out the news[00:02:37]
That the south land[00:02:39]
To give birth to the blues[00:02:41]
