《The Man On The Flying Trapeze - Original》歌词

[00:00:00] The Man On The Flying Trapeze - Original - Don Redman

[00:00:43] Now once I was happy but now I'm forlorn

[00:00:47] Like an old coat that is tattered and torn

[00:00:50] Left in this wide world to fret and to mourn

[00:00:54] Betrayed by a maid in her teens

[00:00:57] Now the man that I loved she was handsome

[00:01:01] And I tried all I knew her to please

[00:01:04] Then but I never could not please her one quarter so well

[00:01:08] As the man upon the trapeze

[00:01:11] Oh

[00:01:26] I stay some months after that I went in to the hall

[00:01:30] And to my surprised I find them on the wall

[00:01:34] A bill in red letters which did my heart gall

[00:01:37] That she was appearing with him

[00:01:41] He'd taught her gymnastics and dressed her in tights

[00:01:44] Just to help him live at his ease

[00:01:48] And he made her assume a masculine name

[00:01:52] And now she goes on the trapeze

[00:01:55] Oh ya ya ya ya

[00:01:58] He'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease

[00:02:01] This daring young man on the flying trapeze

[00:02:04] I mean the movements were graceful all the girls he could please

[00:02:08] And my love he purloined away
