Luyện nghe bài hát Hartfordtown 1944

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

And the canvasmen they dug in
'Til on that spot where had been
You see the bigtop from miles around
the circus came to Hartfordtown

The circus it was page news
in Nineteen Forty-Four
Everyone was grateful for any
To about the war
The sun down on the menagerie
In the cages the animals
There was and cotton candy
And a on every kid's face

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

There were polar and panther cats
With great big fangs and
And the lions did a act
To jubilant
Then a played on a platform set
So up in the air
everybody held their breath
And they prayed a prayer

All eyes were to the man on the wire
So nobody knew when the caught fire
Too slowly it on the sold-out crowd
When the circus to Hartfordtown The fire drew air and began to climb
The audience jumped their seats
There was a for the exit sign
And some from the heat
There were heroes who did their to help
The children escape the
And the others who managed to save
They survived but were the same

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

As a boy I on Barbour Street
Four from 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 the first time I ever prayed
Was I saw that black smoke in the sky

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