Luyện nghe bài hát Lament for Lester Cousins

music and lyrics by Lund

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

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

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

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

Lester now, Lester now, keep it together, we all 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 with the weight of the world at door
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the fate of the world on the
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the hate of the world as your

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

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

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

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