Luyện nghe bài hát Hartfordtown 1944

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

And the they dug right in
'Til on that where nothing had been
You could see the from miles around
the circus came to Hartfordtown

The circus it was front news
Back in Forty-Four
was grateful for any excuse
To forget the war
The sun beat on the menagerie
In the the animals paced
was orangeade and cotton candy
And a on every kid's face

mother and father, each boy and girl
They couldn't wait to see the show in the world
You barely hear the orchestra, they cheered so loud
the circus came to Hartfordtown

There were bears and panther cats
With big fangs and claws
And the lions did a act
To jubilant
Then a spotlight on a platform set
So up in the air
That held their breath
And they prayed a prayer

All eyes were to the man on the wire
So nobody knew the tent caught fire
Too slowly it dawned on the 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 exit
And some from the heat
were heroes who did their best to help
The escape the flames
And the others who managed to save
They survived but were never the

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

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 grounded me, two weeks
Now I can't even why
But I the first time I ever prayed
Was when I saw that black in the sky

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