The Face on the Barroom Floor

00:00:00 THE FACE ON THE BARROOM FLOOR

00:00:07 'TWAS A BALMY SUMMER'S EVENING AND A GOODLY GROWD WAS THERE, WHICH WELL-NIGH FILLED JOE'S BARROOM AT THE CORNER OF THE SQUARE

00:00:26 AND AS SONGS WITTY STORIES GAME THROUGH THE OPEN DOOR A VAGABOND CREPT SLOWKY IN AND POSED UPON THE FLOOR

00:00:44 "GIVE ME DRINK" CRIED HE, "I'M OUT OF FUNDS YOU KNOW WHEN I HAD CASH TO THE GANG THIS HAND WAS NEVER SLOW"

00:01:08 "YOU TREATED ME PRETTY KINDLY AND I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU HOW I CAME TO BE THE DIRTY SOT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU NOW"

00:01:21 "I WAS A PAINTER ... NOT ONE WHO DAUBED ON BRICKS AND WOOD BUT AN ARTIST - AND FOR ME AGE, WAS RATED PRETTY GOOD"

00:02:53 "THEN I MET A WOMAN ... NOW COMES THE FUNNY PART ... WITH EYES THAT PETRIFIED MY BRAIN AND SUNK INTO MY HEART"

00:04:42 "I WAS WORKING ON A PORTRAIT, ONE AFTERNOON IN MAY, OF A FAIR-HAIRED BOY, A FRIEND OF MINE, WHO LIVED ACROSS THE WAY"

00:05:17 " AND MADELINE ADMIRED HIM, AND MUCH TO MY SURPRISE SAID SHE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE MAN, WHO HAD SUCH DREAMY EYES"

00:06:22 "AND BEFORE A MONTH FLOWN, MY FRIEND HAD STOLEN MY DARLING"

00:06:48 "... AND I WAS LEFT ALONE"

00:08:35 "AND ERE A YEAR OF MISERY HAD PASSED ABOVE MY HEAD THE JEWEL I HAD TREASURED SO WAS TARNISHED, AND DEAD"

00:09:31 "GIVE ME A PIECE OF CHALK WITH WHICH YOU MARK THE BASEBALL SCORE, AND YOU SHALL SEE THE LOVELY MADELINE UPON THE BARROOM FLOOR"

00:11:06 THEN AS HE PLACED ANOTHER LOOK UPON THE SHAPELY HEAD, WITH A FEARFUL SHRIEK HE FELL ACROSS THE PICTURE DEAD ... DRUNK
