The Birth Of The Blues - Bing Crosby (本·考斯比)[00:00:00]
Oh! they say some darkest long ago[00:00:11]
Were searching for a diff'rent tune,[00:00:17]
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[00:00:33]
Just what they use[00:00:34]
And that is[00:00:35]
How the blues really began:[00:00:36]
They heard the breeze in the trees[00:00:40]
Singing weird melodies[00:00:45]
And they play that[00:00:49]
The start of the blues.[00:00:52]
And from a jail came the wail[00:01:00]
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,[00:01:19]
Pushed it through a horn[00:01:22]
Til it was born into a blue note.[00:01:25]
And then they nursed it,[00:01:30]
Rehearsed it,[00:01:33]
And gave out the news[00:01:35]
That the south land[00:01:38]
Gave birth to the blues![00:01:41]
And then they nursed it,[00:02:45]
Rehearsed it,[00:02:48]
And gave out the good news[00:02:50]
That the south land[00:02:53]
Gave birth to the blues![00:02:56]
The birth to the blues![00:03:06]
