Luyện nghe bài hát The Unfortunate Miss Baily

In forty-two, it was customary in the township of Halifax
For a gentleman to partake of ratafia
Which was a light-flavored liquor of potency
Which in middle sex
And which we suppose is the reason for this

Oh, Bailey! Unfortunate, Miss Bailey

A captain bold in Halifax who in country quarters
Seduced a maid who hung herself one in her garters
His wicked conscience smitted him, he lost his stomach
He took to drinking ratafia and thought upon Bailey

Oh, Bailey! Unfortunate, Miss Bailey

One night betimes, he went to bed for he had the fever
he, "I am a handsome man and I'm a gay deceiver"
His candle just a twelve o'clock began to burn palely
A ghost up to his bedside and said, "Behold, Miss Bailey"

Oh, Bailey! Unfortunate, Miss Bailey

"Avast, Miss Bailey," then he cried, "You can't me, really"
"Dear Captain Smith," the ghost replied, "You used me
The coroner's quest goes hard me because I've acted freely
And Parson Biggs bury me though I'm a dead Miss Bailey"

Oh, Miss Bailey! Unfortunate, Bailey

"Dear Mam," he, "Since you and I must once for all accounts close
I have a one pound note in my regimental clothes
'Twill bribe the sexton for your grave," the ghost then answered
"Bless you, wicked Smith, remember poor Miss Bailey"

Oh, Bailey! Unfortunate, Miss Bailey

well that ends well, I suppose
