Luyện nghe bài hát Hartfordtown 1944

It was a dry and dusty day
that wagon train pulled in
Just three hours 'til the
Was scheduled to
As the razorbacks the flats
A crowd did to see
The elephants tow the wagons
To that empty lot on Street

And the canvasmen dug right in
'Til on that spot where had been
You could see the from miles around
When the circus to Hartfordtown

The circus it was front news
Back in Nineteen
Everyone was grateful for any
To about the war
The sun down on the menagerie
In the cages the paced
There was and cotton candy
And a smile on every kid's

Each mother and father, boy and girl
couldn't wait to see the greatest show in the world
You could barely the orchestra, they cheered so loud
When the circus came to

There were bears and panther cats
With great big and claws
And the did a balancing act
To jubilant
Then a spotlight played on a set
So up in the air
everybody held their breath
And they prayed a prayer

All eyes were glued to the man on the
So nobody knew the tent caught fire
Too it dawned on the sold-out crowd
When the came to Hartfordtown The fire drew air and began to climb
The audience from their seats
There was a stampede for the sign
And some fainted from the
There were heroes who did their to help
The children the flames
And the others who managed to themselves
They but were never the same

And still remember how the animals cried
But there weren't any animals
Over 100 people trapped as the burned down
When the circus came to

As a boy I lived on Street
Four blocks that circus show
And I begged my parents, I got on my knees
But they not let me go
For they had me, two weeks straight
Now I can't even why
But I know the first I ever prayed
Was when I saw black smoke in the sky

And the war it was over in a I guess
But the in my town didn't cheer like the rest
It still breaks our to remember now
