Jack Frost Trapeze boy Lyrics:
I hadn't thought about Mrs. Morgan for years,

picture most of the time. I'd come home from
school and the women would be hard at the cards. I

sweetheart. I came home one day and Mrs. Morgan
was crying in our kitchen. My mother told me to

the circus had fallen and died. He used to ride
the trapeze. Mr. Morgan went out of business and
they moved away. I've still got the opals. It's
funny how someone you've never met manages to stay
with you.
