Luyện nghe bài hát Hartfordtown 1944

It was a dry and summer day
When that train pulled in
Just three hours the matinee
Was to begin
As the razorbacks the flats
A crowd did to see
The elephants tow the wagons
To that lot on Barbour Street

And the canvasmen dug right in
'Til on that spot nothing had been
You could see the bigtop from around
When the circus came to

The circus it was page news
Back in Nineteen
Everyone was grateful for any
To forget the war
The sun beat down on the
In the the animals paced
There was orangeade and cotton
And a on every kid's face

Each and father, each boy and girl
They wait to see the greatest show in the world
You could barely the orchestra, they cheered so loud
the circus came to Hartfordtown

There polar bears and panther cats
With great big fangs and
And the lions did a act
To applause
a spotlight played on a platform set
So up in the air
That held their breath
And they prayed a silent

All eyes were glued to the man on the
So nobody knew when the tent fire
Too slowly it dawned on the crowd
When the circus came to Hartfordtown The fire drew air and began to
The audience jumped from seats
There was a stampede for the sign
And some fainted from the
There were heroes who did their best to
The escape the flames
And the others who managed to save
They survived but were never the

And some still remember how the cried
But there weren't any inside
100 people trapped as the tent burned down
When the circus to Hartfordtown

As a boy I on Barbour Street
Four blocks from circus show
And I begged my parents, I got down on my
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 that black in the sky

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