Luyện nghe bài hát Leon McDuff

Ladies and gentlemen of the
I come before you to plead for the of Leon McDuff
and gentlemen on the jury
I asking you to be the of when enough is enough

Now Leon McDuff has worked on his daddy's everyday since the day that he was born
Plowing in the fields and hoeing in the garden and helping pick the cotton and the
came the time of the Mississippi floods and all of his work went down the drain
The land was parched by the sun and blown by the wind and finally washed by the rain

So he went to his friends to get some help from them but their crops and money was all gone
So he went to the bank to mortgage his home but the bank wouldn't give a loan
He could not decide how his family would survive with no crops and no to buy food
And as he struggled with his hands to rework his land the notice that said his land tax was due

Now in an office on the other side of town sat a government official with a frown
'Cause he'd been trying for so long to find land to build a home but cheap river land could not be found
Then in the middle of his gloom his boss walked in the room and I've got some real good news for the house you've planned
There's a farmer who's so and who's luck has run so sour that he can not pay the taxes on his land

So just you wait a week or two 'til the over due then go to the cashier down the hall
With his deed in your hand pay the taxes on the land have the sheriff Leon McDuff a call
Have him tell Leon to by the last day of July because the taxes on his land are overdue
Tell him he has to move 'cause the taxes were not paid then all his river land belongs to you

Now in that air-conditioned office in a week or two came the sheriff saying I've got some bad news
That Leon McDuff says he's had some bad luck and he'll try to get the money but he aint move
That official he jumped up and the sheriff by the arm he said we're going down to take that land today
So he and the sheriff drove down to Leon's to tell the McDuffs to move away

There stood Leon on his land with a shotgun in his hand, his narrowed 'neath the brim of his hat
He said "I've worked hard on this land as a boy and as a man I gonna lose it to no god damned bureaucrat."
Well that bureaucrat got mad and grabbed the gun in Leon's hand and in the struggle an cracked the air
And when the smoke and dust had cleared and the left their ears, the sheriff lay a dying on the ground

Now on this table I lay, this gun "Exhibit A" with two sets of fingerprints as you can see
But other hands were here unperceived by eye or ear that helped trigger off this awful
Now to me its still unclear just what really caused the here
much too much we've got to know before we know enough
So we can't out today where all the guilt should lay but it shouldn't be on Leon McDuff
