Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His grin stretched the folds of his white cheeks
And his lips 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 then off my socks if you want to
But I'd rather you took this old puppet me
That I in my pail as we speak"

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

She saw the doll's eyes and she couldn't
And she thanked the man and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with puppet high
And a hush filled the chapel and the looked mean

Esther in vain to pacify the mob
Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, then to
The congregation struggled desperately to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's leather

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

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

higher over the hills
And the and treetops they'd flutter and glide
Soaring and suspended on air
With the earth far them they'd tumble
And dive the clouds

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

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

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

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

now she made her way toward the shore
When suddenly she felt a tiny at her toe
And the puppet she'd forgotten wrapped its
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 laughing old man her ears
As she drifted away to a tranquil and sleep
