《The Man On The Flying Trapeze》歌词

[00:02:42] Once I was happy

[00:02:42] But now I'm forlorn

[00:02:42] Like an old coat that is tattered and torn

[00:02:42] Left on this world to fret and to mourn

[00:02:42] Betrayed by a maid in her teens

[00:02:42] The girl that I loved she was handsome

[00:02:42] I tried all I knew her to please

[00:02:42] But I could not please her one quarter so well

[00:02:42] As the man upon the trapeze

[00:02:42] Hed fly through the air with the greatest of ease

[00:02:42] That daring young man on the flying trapeze

[00:02:42] His movements were graceful

[00:02:42] All girls he could please

[00:02:42] And my love he purloined away

[00:02:42] This young man by name was signor bona slang

[00:02:42] Tall

[00:02:42] Big and handsome

[00:02:42] As well made as chang

[00:02:42] Whereer he appeared the hall loudly rang

[00:02:42] With ovation from all people there

[00:02:42] Hed smile from the bar on the people below

[00:02:42] And one night he smiled on my love

[00:02:42] She winkd back at him and she shouted "bravo"

[00:02:42] As he hung by his nose up above

[00:02:42] Her father and mother were both on my side

[00:02:42] And very hard tried to make her my bride

[00:02:42] Her father he sighed

[00:02:42] And her mother she cried

[00:02:42] To see her throw herself away

[00:02:42] Twas all no avail

[00:02:42] She went there every night

[00:02:42] And would throw him bouquets on the stage

[00:02:42] Which caused him to meet her

[00:02:42] How he ran me down

[00:02:42] To tell you would take a whole page

[00:02:42] One night I as usual went to her dear home

[00:02:42] Found there her father and mother alone

[00:02:42] I asked for my love

[00:02:42] And soon they made known

[00:02:42] To my horror that shed run away

[00:02:42] Shed packed up her box and eloped in the night

[00:02:42] With him

[00:02:42] With the greatest of ease

[00:02:42] From two stories high he had lowered her down

[00:02:42] To the ground on his flying trapeze

[00:02:42] Some months after this I went to the hall

[00:02:42] Was greatly surprised to see on the wall

[00:02:42] A bill in red letters

[00:02:42] Which did my heart gall

[00:02:42] That she was appearing with him

[00:02:42] Hed taught her gymnastics and dressed her in tights

[00:02:42] To help him live at his ease

[00:02:42] And made her assume a masculine name

[00:02:42] And now she goes on the trapeze

[00:02:42] Shed fly through the air with the greatest of ease

[00:02:42] Youd think her the man young man on the flying trapeze

[00:02:42] Her movements were graceful

[00:02:42] All girls she could please

[00:02:42] And that was the end of my love
