Luyện nghe bài hát Lament for Lester Cousins

music and lyrics by Corb

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

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

the gamblin came the drinkin and the cocaine and the sinkin
That accompanies a man whos falling
And soon the fightin and the whoring every night
And pills and losing left his spirit on the

Well there comes a time when 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 hard life prayed

Lester now, now, keep it together, we all want to see you succeed
Lester now, Lester now, hold it together, cuz your is what the world needs
Lester now, Lester now, keep it together and 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 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 fall with the hate of the world as your

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

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

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

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