Luyện nghe bài hát The Farewell Ball

(Mark Erelli)

The man
building his dam
Then he told us it was all for the
'Cause were tearing it down
They were our town
In the of progress I guess

We held our proud
the state bought us out
And there wasn't much else we do
But go down to Hall
To the firemen's ball
It was out in red, white and blue

Come, come take my
to the band 'round the old Town Hall
Come, come my hand
is our last chance
Down at the Farewell

The and Gibsons
and Dickinsons
Everyone to the nines
They into town
Came miles around
To pay their respects one last

A hush filled the
And the band stopped the
As the bell slowly chimed
I saw grown men break
At the death of a
the orchestra played "Auld Lang Syne"

Come, come take my
to the band 'round the old Town Hall
Come, come take my
They've called the dance
Down at the Ball

Even now I
How the waters all
And made islands of the tallest of
And families and
Now scattered like
All etched in my memory
I down there sometimes
Through the pines
To listen to the wind on the
It's nothing has changed
I can hear the strains
Of the last tune the played

Come, come take my
Twirl to the band 'round the old Hall
Come, take my hand
called the last dance
