Luyện nghe bài hát Ballad Of Hard Luck Henry

Now you expect to find a man an awful crank
That's out nigh three hundred claims and every one a blank
That's followed every fool stampede and seen the rise and
Of camps where men got gold in chunks and he got at all
That's prospected a bit of ground and sold it for a
To see it yield a fortune to some fool came along
That's sunk a bed-rock holes and not a speck in sight
Yet sees them take a million from the to left and right
Now aren't things like enough to drive a man to booze
But Hard-Luck Smith was he knew the way to lose

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

One day while meditating on the of fate
He felt the ache of lonely man to find a mate
A petticoated pard to cheer his solitary
A woman with soothing ways a confidant a wife
And he cooked his supper on his little Yukon stove
He wished that he had staked a in Love's rich treasure-trove
When suddenly he and held aloft a Yukon egg
For there in pencilled letters was the magic of Peg

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

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

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

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