Luyện nghe bài hát Ballad Of Hard Luck Henry

Now wouldn't you expect to a man an awful crank
That's staked out nigh hundred claims and every one a blank
That's followed every fool and seen the rise and fall
Of camps where men got gold in and he got none at all
That's prospected a bit of ground and it for a song
To see it yield a fortune to some fool came along
That's sunk a dozen holes and not a speck in sight
Yet sees them take a million from the to left and right
Now aren't like that enough to drive a man to booze
But Hard-Luck Smith was hoodoo-proof he the way to lose

Twas in the fall of nineteen four leap-year heard them say
When Hard-Luck came to Hunker Creek and took a lay
And lo! as if to make amends for all the past
Late in the year he struck it the real pay-streak at last
The riffles of his sluicing-box were with speckled earth
And night and day he worked lay for all that he was worth
And in chill December's gloom his lucky lease expired
He found that he had a stake as big as he desired

One day while meditating on the waywardness of
He the ache of lonely man to find a fitting mate
A petticoated pard to cheer his life
A with soft soothing ways a confidant a wife
And while he his supper on his little Yukon stove
He wished that he had staked a claim in rich treasure-trove
When suddenly he and held aloft a Yukon egg
For there in letters was the magic name of Peg

You these Yukon eggs of ours some pink some green some blue
A per assorted tints assorted flavors too
The supercilious cheechako might designate high
But one a taste for them and likes them by and by
Well Hard-Luck Henry took egg and held it to the light
And there was more faint pencilling that taxed his sight
At last he made it out and then the legend ran this
Will Klondike miner write to Peg Plumhollow Wis

night he got to thinking of this far-off unknown fair
It seemed so sort of opportune an answer to his
She flitted sweetly through his dreams she him by day
She smiled through clouds of nicotine she cheered his way
At last he yielded to the his course of love he set
his objective point his object Margaret

With every mile of sea and land his grew and grew
He practised all his pretty words and these I were few
At last one evening with a cold chill down his spine
He found himself before her the threshold of the shrine
His courage flickered to a spark then glowed sudden flame
He knocked he heard a welcome word she came his came
Oh she was fair as any flower and huskily he
I'm all the way from Klondike a mighty heavy poke
I'm looking for a lassie one whose name is Peg
Who sought a Klondike and who wrote it on an egg

The lassie gazed at him a space her cheeks grew red
She gazed at him tear-bright eyes then tenderly she said
Yes lonely Klondike miner it is true my is Peg
It's also I longed for you and wrote it on an egg
My heart went out to someone in that land of and cold
But oh I fear that Yukon egg must have mighty old
I waited long I hoped and feared you should come before
I've been a wedded woman now for months or more
I'm sorry you've come so far you ain't the one that wins
But won't you take a step inside let you see the twins
