Luyện nghe bài hát The Triplett Tragedy

(E. Miller)
A sight I'll now relate,
On Elk it did take place,
On Christmas at nine o'clock,
The people met an shock.
At Marshall this begun.
The brothers met, it in fun.
They together all as one,
And then the it begun.
Marshall seemed to stand in the rear,
and Columbus with the chair,
"There is one thing I do know,
You drink to save your own."
They met in near the barn.
Mrs. Triplett went to stop wrong.
Columbus stabbed in the thigh,
And left him on the to die.
Marshall's wife in great distress
Stayed by her while in death.
The children's screams was around,
Which did a solemn sound.
Lum went off at to go away
And met Gran on his way.
At Triplett's this was said,
Lum said to Gran, "Your dead."
Lum to Gran, "I'll let you know,
I've killed your at his home.
I'll now up to thee.
You me kindly if you please."
Gran said to Lum, "One I'll do.
If you killed father I'll you."
He then beat Lum at a dreadful
And made bad on his face.
Gran then Lum to Wautauga jail.
He went the bars to stay.
Those beats and bruises inflamed,
brought Columbus to his grave.
Those brothers in the same graveyard,
wives and children troubled hard,
Their resting place there must be,
Till they rise at Judgement Day.
At Judgement Day we hope they'll
To their Savior in the skies.
To sing praises o'er and o'er,
And be with forever more.
The sheriff then on the round.
To see if Granville be found.
at his home he did abound,
And at place he was then found.
Webb held court up in our town
And him on to the chain gang.
For eighteen months he must stay,
the governor hear him pray.
Young men, take warning by case,
Don't use strong while in life's race.
all such stuff then far behind,
And kind parents you should mind.
