Combs Hotel Burned Down Lyrics

All on one Tuesday morning just about the hour of nine
There was an awful excitement when the Combs Hotel burned down

There was Mr. Berglar and his wife and one little sizemore girl
These three dear loving people are gonna pardon from this world

There was one poor railroad man Mr. Taylor was his name
When he came rushing through the hall, was brought down by the smoky flame

It was on one Tuesday morning just about the hour of nine
There was an awful excitement when the Combs Hotel burned down
