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 stampede and seen the and fall
Of camps where men got in chunks 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 that along
That's sunk a dozen bed-rock and not a speck in sight
Yet sees them take a million from the to left and right
Now aren't things that enough to drive a man to booze
But Hard-Luck Smith was he knew the way to lose

in the fall of nineteen four leap-year I've heard them say
When came to Hunker Creek and took a hillside lay
And lo! as if to amends for all the futile past
Late in the year he struck it rich the real at last
The riffles of his sluicing-box choked with speckled earth
And and day he worked that lay for all that he was worth
And when in chill December's gloom his lease expired
He found that he had made a as big as he desired

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

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

night he got to thinking of this far-off unknown fair
It seemed so sort of an answer to his prayer
She flitted sweetly his dreams she haunted him by day
She smiled through clouds of nicotine she his weary way
At last he yielded to the spell his of love he set
Wisconsin his objective point his 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 evening with a cold chill down his spine
He found himself before her house the threshold of the
His courage flickered to a spark then with sudden flame
He he heard a welcome word she came his goddess came
Oh she was fair as any flower and he spoke
I'm all the way from Klondike a mighty heavy poke
I'm looking for a lassie one whose Christian is Peg
Who a Klondike miner and who wrote it on an egg

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