Luyện nghe bài hát Jack Slim

Meet Jack Slim, a man
always do the best he can
An upright guy, always stand
In his home by the sea

Amongst the and tupelos
From boy to man did our grow
He faltered, sinned, or hoed
Or lived but

He up tall and grew up strong
An man, knew right from wrong
He fields and studied long
How proud we of he

To but one he did go
And there's the Devil seeds to sow
A poisoned soul that didn't
The that was on he

Her were black, as was her hair
And in the light, just there
She caught Jack's eye a care
Jack Slim, the to be

Now hear the of bronze and steel
out the coming ills
Of a man I'd rather
see suffer endlessly

Into the home of Jack she
Her and kin, drunk and insane
The broke damn near everything
To stay for good was true aim

Jack's wife's bed hot
All the town did have shot
The football team, the team's
All comers came and a lot

Jack walked round with teeth
To or scream or cry beneath
His pride and courtesy
Tested hard and

One foul day, our Jack snapped
And kicked the sorry bums and
Out his door without a
To the down by the sea

The wife, she didn't take well
him to go to straight to hell
An man with a sulfur smell
Oh old Jack did she

She their boy and ran away
To a shark who was the man
To lay the and lend and a hand
To the by the sea

Opposite the judge old stood
down, knowing no good
Could come souls who harbor hate
For an man as he

He lost his house. He his heart
Lost all he earned or cared
His boy was and he was out
Of luck or or glee

Now Jack lives a tent
No money left for or rent
The homeless already spent
Johnny Law at bay

One day woke with an aching head
His gums bled; his was red
He wept a little and then said, I this will kill me

No money for a doctor's
took an awl and placed the tip
Against his rotting tooth, his rotting

He once. He hammered twice
Let out a scream wasn't nice
The was stuck like dirt in ice
And just where it was

So town stumbled our Jack
He found a gun inside a
In the sheriff's car parked way out
Behind the country

He took that gun and a knife
Intent on his own life
To put an end to all his
And die painlessly

He placed the gun against his
he would soon be dead
As his misery

He the gun
But the gun
The shattered and the bullet broke
a poor and sad unlucky bloke
In his cave by the sea

So finally Jack a plan
And took the gun inside his
Approached my boat like a man
Who was out to sea
out to sea

From the dock, and rocks
A few chains and extra locks
Heavy stuff I've not
And a bucket of iron

He the gun and out we went
I'll surely die, from this sent
I to myself
I to me

Old man, I you no harm
Please don't fear, be alarmed
Your life I'll spare despite my
home you soon will be

Further out we and went
Past the and all the scents
Of and liberty
And

Into the bucket Jack's went
The concrete followed and I
That that day wasn't meant for me

his waist he chained the rocks
Secured them with all the locks
And then he that I stop
And his back to me

Mother, please invite me
Your son's tired, no wish to
Any way away from
Away from

Without another word Jack
But righted to upward side
the concrete at his feet

The bubbles, they stopped enough
And I could breath when could not
As he sank the sea
the sea

Now he rests far below
One thousand deep or so
With for company, for company
I looked and saw a approach

And aimed my girl for harbor
But up I saw the coast
And house by the sea
Jack's house by the sea
