Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

It was late one fall at a fairground near town
When Esther saw the Armenian man
Who groveled her and stood by her side
With a that swung in his hand

His grin stretched the folds of his pasty cheeks
And his hurled a dollop of murk on the curb
And the lights from the rides a mischievous sparkle
flashed in his hollow eyed stare

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

And he stood looking down at the girl
And she stared at the bucket
he lifted the doll for the young girl to see
And a smile grew on his face

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

Esther tried in to pacify the mob
Quibble to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The frenzied congregation struggled to fetch
The pretty snugly nestled deep in Esther's leather sack

Through the of the church, a storm began to rage
And Esther knew the time had come to
She scurried the aisle toward the doorway in the distance
And out the rainstorm where she felt she would be free

But the was blowing harder
And her skirt to billow, until finally her feet began to lift
And she rose above the houses and the and the chimneys
And Esther and the were set adrift

Floating higher over the
And the valleys and treetops they'd and glide
Soaring and turning on air
With the earth far below them they'd
And through the clouds

And she began to plummet
Till she in the nasty part of town
She about the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest of night

she fumbled for the pouch that held 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 succumb to a hoodlum on the

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

As Esther stood and shook her head the were approaching
And she she had no choice left but to swim
As the frosty water sank its teeth into her hide
She tried to the heavy clothing from her skin

Naked now she made her way the shore
When suddenly she felt a tugging at her toe
And the puppet she'd forgotten wrapped its
Little arms around her and wouldn't let her go

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