the small house of uncle Thomas (ballet)

Your majesty, and honorable guests
I beg to put before you 'Small House of Uncle Thomas'

Small House of Uncle Thomas,
Small House of Uncle Thomas,
Written by a woman name Harriet Beecher Stowa

House is in Kingdom of Kentucky, ruled by most wicked king in all America,
Simon of Legree.
Your Majesty, I beg to put before you loving friends.

Uncle Thomas
Dear old Uncle Thomas.
Little Eva.
Blessed Little Eva.
Little Topsy.
Mischief maker, Topsy.
Happy people
Very happy people

Happy, Happy, Happy people.

Your majesty, I beg to put before you, one who is not happy.
The slave Eliza.
Poor Eliza,
Poor Eliza,
Poor unfortunate slave.

Eliza's lord and master, King Simon of Legree!
She hates her lord and master, and fears him.
This king has sold her lover to far away province of Oheeo.
Lover's name is George.
George
Baby in her arms, also called George.
George
Eliza say she run away and look for lover George .
George
So she bid goodbye to friends and start on her escape.
Run Eliza,
Run Eliza,
Run from Simon.
Poor Eliza running and run into the rain storm.

Comes a mountain.
Climb Eliza.
Hide Eliza.
Hide from Simon.
Hide in forest.
Poor Eliza.
Poor Eliza, Poor Eliza, Poor Eliza,Poor Eliza
Poor Eliza.
Eliza very tired.
Your majesty, I regret to put before you King Simon of Legree!

Because one slave has run away ,
Simon beating ev'ry slave.
Simon clever man,
He decide to hunt Eliza,
Not only with soldiers,but with scientific dogs
Who sniff and smell and thereby discover all who run from king!

Run Eliza, run.
Run Eliza, run.
Run from Simon run.
Run Eliza , run run.
Run from Simon, run run.
Poor Eliza.
Run from Simon.
Eliza run.
Eliza run from Simon, run.
Eliza run.
Poor Eliza.
Eliza run from Simon, run.
Run Eliza
Run from Simon
Run Eliza
Run from Simon
Run Eliza run run, ah-h-h.
Eliza come to river.
Eliza come to river.
Poor Eliza.
Who can save her?!
Only Buddha.
Save her Buddha, save her.
What will Buddha do?

Buddha make a miracle!
Buddha send an angel down.
Angel make the wind blow cold,
Make the river water hard, hard enough to walk upon.
Buddha make a miracle.
Praise to Buddha.
Angel show her how to walk ton frozen water.

Now as token of his love, Buddha send a new miracle.
Praise to Buddha.
Send from heaven stars and blossoms.
Look like lace upon the sky.
Praise to Buddha, Praise to Buddha, Praise to Buddha
So Eliza cross the river, hidden by this veil of lace.
Forgot to tell you name of miracle, 'Snow'.

Of a sudden she can see
Wicked Simon of Legree.
Sliding cross the river fast.
With his bloodhounds and his slaves.

What has happened to the river?
Buddha has called out the sun!
Buddha has called out the sun!
Sun has made the water soft.
Wicked Simon and his slaves,
Fall in river and are drowned.

On other side of river is pretty city, Canada,
Where Eliza sees lovely small house.
Guess who live in house?
Uncle Thomas.
Dear Old Uncle Thomas
Little Eva.
Blessed Little Eva.
Little Topsy.
Mischief Maker Topsy.
Lover George,
And Faithful Lover George,
who is looking like angel to Eliza.
They have all escaped from Wicked Simon
And make happy reunion

Topsy glad the Simon die, Topsy dance for joy.
I tell you what Harriet Beecher Stowa say that Topsy say.
I specks I'se de wickedest critter in de world!
But I do not believe that Topsy is wicked critter.
Because I too am glad for death of King.
Of any King who pursue a slave who is unhappy, and wish to join her lover.
And your majesty,
I wish to say to you,
Your majesty, and honorable guests,
I will tell you end of story.
Is very sad ending.
Buddha has saved Eliza.
But with the blessings of Buddha also come sacrifice.
Poor little Eva,
Poor little Eva,
Poor unfortunate child.
Is Buddha's wish
that Eva come to him and thank him personally
Ror saving of Eliza and baby.
And so she die and go to arms of Buddha.

Praise to Buddha,
Praise to Buddha.
