Left on this world of bread and more
Betrayed by a maid in her teens
The girl that I loved, she was handsome
I tried all I knew her to please
But I could not please her
As the man on the flying trapeze
with the greatest of ease
His movements were graceful,
all girls couldn't please
With a vision from all people there
One night he smiled on my love
As he hung by his nose up above
His movements were graceful,
all girls could be pleased
And my love, he'd be mine away
An d very hard tried to make her my bride
He'd see her to herself away
Twice I'll know there she
Which caused him to meet her,
To tell you would take her whole page
Found there her father and mother alone
and soon they made it known
To my horror, she'd run away
and dressed her in tights
To help him live at his ease
And made her assume a masculine name
And now she goes on the trapeze
She dives through the air
with the greatest of ease
Her movements were graceful,
all girls she could please
And that was the end of my love
with the greatest of ease
His movements were graceful,
all girls could he please
And my love, he purled on away
Yeah, my love, you pearl on the white
My love, you pearl on the
