Luyện nghe bài hát Ballad Of Hard Luck Henry

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

Twas in the of nineteen four leap-year I've heard them say
Hard-Luck came to Hunker Creek and took a hillside lay
And lo! as if to make amends for all the futile
Late in the year he struck it rich the real 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 that he had made a stake as big as he desired

One day while on the waywardness of fate
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 he cooked his supper on his little Yukon stove
He that he had staked a claim in Love's rich treasure-trove
When suddenly he paused and held a Yukon egg
For there in letters was the magic name of Peg

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

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

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

The lassie at him a space her cheeks grew rosy red
She gazed at him with tear-bright then tenderly she said
Yes lonely Klondike it is true my name is Peg
It's also true I longed for you and 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 been old
I waited long I hoped and feared you should have come
I've been a wedded woman now for months or more
I'm sorry since come so far you ain't the one that wins
But won't you take a step I'll let you see the twins
