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 the rise and fall
Of camps where men got gold in chunks and he got at all
prospected a bit of ground and sold it for a song
To see it yield a to some fool that came along
That's sunk a dozen bed-rock and not a speck in sight
Yet sees them take a million from the claims to left and
Now aren't things that enough to drive a man to booze
But Hard-Luck Smith was he knew the way to lose

Twas in the fall of four 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 past
Late in the year he it rich the real pay-streak at last
The of his sluicing-box were choked with speckled earth
And night and day he worked that lay for all that he was
And when in December's gloom his lucky lease expired
He found he had made a stake as big as he desired

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

You know these Yukon eggs of ours 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 likes by and by
Well Hard-Luck Henry this egg and held it to the light
And there was more faint pencilling that sorely his sight
At last he made it out and then the ran like this
Will Klondike miner write to Peg Squashville Wis

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

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

The lassie gazed at him a her cheeks grew rosy red
She gazed at him with tear-bright eyes tenderly she said
Yes lonely Klondike miner it is my name is Peg
It's also true I longed for you and it on an egg
My heart went out to 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 woman now for eighteen or more
I'm sorry since you've come so far you ain't the one that
But won't you take a step inside I'll let you see the
