Once I was happy,
But now I'm forlorn,
Like an old coat
That is tattered and torn;
Left in this wide world
To weep and to mourn,
Betrayed by a maid in her teens.
Now this girl that I loved,
She was handsome,
And I tried all I knew
Her to please,
But I never could please her
One quarter so well
As the man on the flying trapeze.
Refrain:
Oh, he floats through the air
With the greatest of ease,
That daring young man
On the flying trapeze;
His movements are graceful,
All girls he does please,
And my love he has taken away.
