Luyện nghe bài hát Lament for Lester Cousins

music and by Corb Lund

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

Men introduced him to labour, moving earth and stacking hay
Were all the that were open to the boy
And the same men our Lester Lady Lucks appeal and blessed her
With a trusting disciple to enjoy

With the gamblin came the drinkin and the and the sinkin
That accompanies a man whos down
And soon the fightin and the whoring every night
And pills and losing his spirit on the ground

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

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

Well God led Lester to a who was finally worth the wait
He bought a ring and changed his and settled down
And he farmed his forty acres, a daughter, loved his Maker
Loved his wife and earned respect all through the

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

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

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