Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His grin the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a of murk on the curb
And the from the rides showed 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 rather you took old puppet from me
That I in my pail as we speak"

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

She saw the doll's eyes and she resist
And she the man quickly and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with held high
And a filled the chapel and the people looked mean

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

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

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

higher over the hills
And the valleys and treetops they'd and glide
Soaring and suspended on air
With the earth far below them they'd
And dive through the

And she to plummet earthward
Till she landed in the nasty of town
She about the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the hour 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 would have a blunder
To to a hoodlum on the prowl

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

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

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

The seemed to open and swallow her whole
As the doll pulled her down the eerie green deep
And the sound of the old man filled her ears
As she drifted away to a tranquil and sleep
