The Birth of the Blues - Sammy Davis Jr./Count Basie (考特.贝西)

Oh, they say some people long ago

Were looking for a diffrent tune

One that they could croon

As only they can

They only had the rhythm

So they started swaying to and fro

They didn't know just what to use

But This is how the blues really began

This is the way the blues began

They heard the breeze in the trees

Singing weird melodies

And they made that just the start of the blues

And from a jail there came a wail

From down hearted frail

And they played that

As part of the blues

Now From a whippoorwill blues

High on a hill

They took a new note

And they pushed it through a horn

And till it was worn

And Into one blue note

And then they nursed it, yeah rehearsed it

And then gave out the news

That the southland gave birth to the blues

From a whippoorwill Out on a hill

They brought a new note

And then pushed it through a horn

And till it was worn

And into a blue note

And then they nursed it, go rehearsed it

And then gave out the news

That the southland gave birth to the blues

Everybody

Then nursed it, rehearsed it

And gave out the news

That the Southland gave birth

The birth to the blues
