Luyện nghe bài hát Ballad Of Hard Luck Henry

Now you expect to find a man an awful crank
That's staked out nigh three hundred and every one a blank
That's followed every fool stampede and seen the and fall
Of camps where men got gold in and he got none at all
That's prospected a bit of ground and sold it for a
To see it yield a fortune to some fool that along
That's sunk a dozen holes and not a speck in sight
Yet sees them take a million the claims to left and right
Now aren't like 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 make for all the futile past
Late in the he struck it rich the real pay-streak at last
The riffles of his were choked with speckled earth
And night and day he that lay for all that he was worth
And when in chill December's gloom his lease expired
He that he had made a stake as big as he desired

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

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

That night he got to thinking of this far-off fair
It seemed so sort of opportune an to his prayer
She flitted sweetly through his she haunted him by day
She smiled through of nicotine she cheered his weary way
At last he yielded to the spell his of love he set
Wisconsin his objective his object Margaret

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

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