[00:00.00]The Birth of the Blues - Bing Crosby (本·考斯比)
[00:12.63]Oh they say some darkest long ago
[00:19.30]Were searching for a diff'rent tune
[00:22.03]One that they could croon
[00:23.85]As only they can
[00:27.46]They only had the rhythm so
[00:31.48]They started swaying to and fro
[00:35.84]They didn't know
[00:36.82]Just what they use
[00:38.42]And that is
[00:38.93]How the blues really began:
[00:44.10]They heard the breeze in the trees
[00:49.61]Singing weird melodies
[00:53.32]And they play that
[00:56.89]The start of the blues
[01:05.37]And from a jail came the wail
[01:09.64]Of a down hearted frail
[01:13.65]And they played that
[01:17.27]As part of the blues
[01:21.81]From a whippoorwill out on a hill
[01:26.23]They took a new note
[01:29.77]Pushed it through a horn
[01:32.17]'Til it was born into a blue note
[01:37.50]And then they nursed it
[01:41.15]Rehearsed it
[01:43.68]And gave out the news
[01:46.72]That the south land
[01:50.40]Gave birth to the blues
[02:59.09]And then they nursed it
[03:02.56]Rehearsed it
[03:05.00]And gave out the good news
[03:08.15]That the south land
[03:11.52]Gave birth to the blues
[03:22.30]The birth to the blues
