Luyện nghe bài hát Jack Slim

Meet Jack Slim, a man
Who'll do the best he can
An guy, he'll always stand
In his down by the sea

the groves and tupelos
From boy to man did our Jack
He faltered, sinned, or hoed
Or but righteously

He grew up and grew up strong
An honest man, right from wrong
He tended fields and long
How proud we of he

To but one he did go
And the Devil with seeds to sow
A soul that didn't know
The bane was on he

Her were black, as was her hair
And in the light, standing there
She caught eye without a care
Jack Slim, the to be

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

Into the of Jack she came
Her kith and kin, and insane
The broke just damn near
To stay for good was true aim

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

Jack walked round grinding teeth
To yell or or cry beneath
His subtle pride and
Tested and frequently

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

The wife, she take this well
Told him to go to to hell
An man with a sulfur smell
Oh old Jack did she

She their boy and ran away
To a slick-haired who was the man
To lay the blame and lend and a
To the by the sea

Opposite the judge old stood
Staring down, no good
come from 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 or love or glee

Now Jack lives a tent
No money for food or rent
The homeless man's already
Keeping Law at bay

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

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

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

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

He took gun and stole a knife
on taking his own life
To put an end to all his
And die just

He placed the gun his head
he would soon be dead
As would his

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

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

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

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

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

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

Into the bucket feet went
The concrete and I sensed
That death day wasn't meant for me

Around his waist he the rocks
Secured them with all the locks
And then he ordered that I
And turned his to me

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

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

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

Now he rests far down
One fathoms deep or so
With fish for company, for
I looked and saw a storm

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