Luyện nghe bài hát Lament for Lester Cousins

music and lyrics by Corb

Cousins left his brothers on a work truck filled with others
Cuz his fatherd his mother years ago
And Lesters mother in lovers to feed and clothe his younger brothers
So at thirteen years our Lester to go

Men him to hard labour, moving earth and stacking hay
Were all the options that were to the boy
And the same men showed our Lester Lucks appeal and blessed her
a trusting young disciple to enjoy

With the gamblin came the drinkin and the cocaine and the
That accompanies a man whos falling
And pretty soon the and the whoring every night
And and losing left his spirit on the ground

Well there comes a when even hardened men need to believe in
Something more and look and be afraid
a particularly rough night took his friend in one more knife fight
For the first in his hard life Lester prayed

now, Lester now, keep it together, we all want to see you succeed
Lester now, Lester now, it together, cuz your goodness is what the world needs
Lester now, now, keep it together and dont lose that spirit of yours
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall the weight of the world at your door
And for the of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the fate of the world on the floor
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to with the hate of the world as your whore

Well God led Lester to a lady who was finally worth the
He bought a and changed his ways and settled down
And he farmed his acres, raised a daughter, loved his Maker
Loved his and earned respect all through the town

Hard at work and clean and sober fifteen come this October
All the of his past had disappeared
Very little did he know then that the young, out of men
That his motherd learned to dread reappear

Well his life and home shattered and his wife and daughter battered
When the kind he knew so well came back
An incontainable induced Lester to regress and
murder those whod raped the love hed found

It didnt take them long to find him or him or confine him
To a cell block full of prisoner doom
Because despite his mothers will, her Lester was a killer now
Whod never live to the jailers tomb
