Luyện nghe bài hát Ballad Of Hard Luck Henry

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

Twas in the fall of nineteen four leap-year I've them say
When Hard-Luck came to Hunker Creek and a hillside lay
And lo! as if to make amends for all the futile
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 worked that lay for all he was worth
And when in chill December's gloom his lucky 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 lonely man to find a mate
A petticoated pard to his solitary life
A woman with soft soothing a confidant a wife
And while he cooked his supper on his Yukon stove
He wished that he had a claim in Love's rich treasure-trove
When suddenly he and held aloft a Yukon egg
For in pencilled letters was the magic name of Peg

You know Yukon eggs of ours some pink some green some blue
A dollar per tints assorted flavors too
The supercilious cheechako designate them high
But one acquires a taste for them and likes by and by
Well Henry took 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 legend ran like
Will Klondike miner to Peg Plumhollow Squashville Wis

That night he got to thinking of this 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 she cheered his weary way
At last he to the spell his course of love he set
Wisconsin his objective his object Margaret

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

The gazed at him a space 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 heart out to someone in that land of night and cold
But oh I fear Yukon egg must have been mighty old
I waited long I hoped and feared you should come before
I've been a wedded woman now for eighteen months or
I'm sorry since you've so far you ain't the one that wins
But you take a step inside I'll let you see the twins
