《The School House Fire》歌词

[00:00:00] The School House Fire - The Dixon Brothers/Avon Cities Skiffle Group/Fannie Davis/Louis Metcalf

[00:00:03] 'Twas an afternoon in springtime

[00:00:09] Folk yard are everywhere

[00:00:14] Preparing for a joyous evening

[00:00:19] Never dreaming death was near

[00:00:24] To a little country schoolhouse

[00:00:29] Neighbor's thinking they would go

[00:00:33] They would have a jolly evening

[00:00:38] At the children's little show

[00:00:43] We could hear those children singing

[00:00:47] The voice's ringing clear and sweet

[00:00:52] Never dreaming in their joy

[00:00:57] Of the fate that they would meet

[00:01:01] But their joys all were blighted

[00:01:06] They began to scream and rage

[00:01:10] When a lantern fell that evening

[00:01:15] Streaming fire upon the stage

[00:01:20] It was on that fatal evening

[00:01:24] They could not control the fire

[00:01:28] They madly lashed about for freedom

[00:01:33] But they perished in the fire

[00:01:37] You could hear those children screaming

[00:01:42] While the flames were rolling high

[00:01:46] Daddy come and get your babies

[00:01:51] Will you stand and let us die

[00:01:55] All the Dads they were trying

[00:02:00] To their little ones to go

[00:02:04] But the brave old fellow's perished

[00:02:09] In the damn from the show

[00:02:13] Little children they were trampled

[00:02:18] In that mighty rolling flame

[00:02:22] Others on that night were screaming

[00:02:26] Death was dealing just the same

[00:02:31] There's a lonely spot in cleveland

[00:02:35] Nicely fenced around and aired

[00:02:39] There's a monument erected

[00:02:44] Tells the story of the fire

[00:02:48] You could hear those children screaming

[00:02:53] While the flames were rolling high

[00:02:57] Daddy come and get your babies

[00:03:02] Will you stand and let us die
