Luyện nghe bài hát Lament for Lester Cousins

music and lyrics by Corb

Lester Cousins left his on a work truck filled with others
Cuz his fatherd left his years ago
And Lesters took 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 our Lester Lady 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 down
And soon the fightin and the whoring every night
And pills and losing his spirit on the ground

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

Lester now, Lester now, it together, we all want to see you succeed
Lester now, Lester now, hold it together, cuz goodness is what the world needs
Lester now, Lester now, keep it together and dont lose that 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 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 to a lady who was finally worth the wait
He a ring 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 fifteen years come this October
All the vices of his had disappeared
Very little did he then that the young, out of control men
his motherd learned 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 those whod raped the love hed found

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