Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

It was one fall night at a fairground near town
Esther first saw the Armenian man
Who toward her and stood by her side
With a bucket swung in his hand

His grin stretched the folds of his pasty cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of on the curb
And the from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his hollow eyed

He said, "Little girl, you can chop off my
And then peel off my socks if you to
But I'd you took this old puppet from me
That I in my pail as we speak"

And he stood looking at the innocent girl
And she stared at the bewildered
he lifted the doll for the young girl to see
And a giant smile on his face

She saw the eyes and she couldn't resist
And she thanked the man and ran to the church
And she burst through the door puppet held high
And a filled the chapel and the people looked mean

Esther tried in to pacify the mob
Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, to brawl
The frenzied struggled desperately to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly deep in Esther's leather sack

Through the window of the church, a began to rage
And Esther knew the had come to flee
She scurried down the aisle toward the in the distance
And out into the rainstorm she felt she would be free

But the wind was blowing
And her skirt began to billow, until finally her feet began to
And she rose above the and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the doll set adrift

Floating over the hills
And the and treetops they'd flutter and glide
Soaring and suspended on air
With the earth far below them they'd
And through the clouds

And she began to earthward
she landed in the nasty part of town
She glanced about the village to find the evil men
Who rob and in the darkest hour of night

Nervously she fumbled for the pouch that the puppet on her rump
Feeling outnumbered Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, she waited till the dawn
'Cause it have been a blunder
To to a hoodlum on the prowl

When the morning came, she wandered through the
Along the chilly lake that lay beside the
At a peaceful moment, but she thought she heard a sound
It was an angry mob of coming up to knock her down

As Esther and shook her head the joggers were approaching
And she knew she had no choice but to swim
As the frosty water sank its bitter into her hide
She tried to slide the heavy clothing her skin

Naked now she her way toward the shore
When she felt a tiny tugging at her toe
And the puppet she'd wrapped its tiny
arms around her ankle and wouldn't let her go

The waves to open and swallow her whole
As the doll pulled her down through the eerie deep
And the sound of the laughing old man her ears
As she drifted away to a tranquil and motionless
