Luyện nghe bài hát Hartfordtown 1944

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

And the they dug right in
on that spot where nothing had been
You could see the bigtop miles around
When the circus came to

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

Each and father, each boy and girl
They couldn't wait to see the greatest in the world
You could barely hear the orchestra, cheered so loud
When the circus to Hartfordtown

There were bears and panther cats
With great big fangs and
And the did a balancing act
To applause
a spotlight played on a platform set
So up in the air
That everybody their breath
And they a silent prayer

All eyes glued to the man on the wire
So nobody knew when the caught fire
Too slowly it on the sold-out crowd
When the circus came to Hartfordtown The fire drew air and to climb
The audience jumped from seats
was a stampede for the exit sign
And some fainted from the
There were heroes who did best to help
The escape the flames
And the who managed to save themselves
They survived but were never the

And some remember how the animals cried
But weren't any animals inside
Over 100 people trapped as the tent down
When the circus came to

As a boy I lived on Street
Four from that 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 even remember why
But I know the first time I 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 cheer the rest
It still breaks our to remember now
