The Birth Of The Blues 歌詞
Whoa, Tillie, Take Your Time - Bessie Smith
They say some people long long long ago
Were looking for a diffrent tune
So they started swaying to and fro
They want something that's good good
They didn't know just what to use
So this is how they started the blues
They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that the start of the blues
And from a jail came the wail
Of a down-hearted frail
And they played that
As a part of the blues
From a whippoorwill
High up on a hill
They took a new note
Pushed it through a horn
Till it was worn
Into a blue note
And then they nursed it
Rehearsed it
And sent out that news
That the Southland gave birth to the blues
From a whippoorwill
High up on a hill
They took a new note
Pushed it through a horn
Till it was worn
Into a blue note
And then they nursed it
Rehearsed it
And then sent out the news
That the Southland gave birth to the blues
They went to jail got the wail
From a down-hearted frail
And you know the sponserman William horn
Got blue not from a whippoorwill
Why he was swaying
High up on a hill
That's Southland oh that's good Southland
That's Southland gave birth to the blues
