Luyện nghe bài hát The Man Who Would Speak True

I had a lover, her name was
She found me down in a place
She dug me out with an old jaw
She dressed me up for to take me
She fed me words I could not taste,
For I had no tongue, it had replaced
By a green and a growing flower which
And I if I ever spoke, I would speak true

We lived in an old hotel
A broke-down palace a wishing well
The neighbor girl me how to spell
And how to steal I could not sell
But I fed my tongue on the rum
In a run by a godless bum
On a drunken night, with a gun
I my lover as she made to run
The judge said, Son, have you done?
But I speak a word, no I didnt speak one
And the judge sent me
And they buried my Grace, yeah, the next day

They me out on a midnight train
In the rain, down through the dusty plain
Four men sitting an old shotgun,
stars pinned on every one
They busted my mouth for to get at my
To see how this had all begun
So I opened my mouth a dragons breath
I only truth, but it only brought death
And I laid those boys to
For the truth, in truth, is a jest

For there aint no but the road to home,
There aint no crops but the ones sown
And if you one thing from me
You guard your tongue like your enemy

I came to ground in a town
On the western rim the sun goes down
a branded man might start again
For to right his wrong, for to his sin
But my tongue kept growing, it would not
I quite weary, couldnt get no release
So I went to the magistrate and myself in,
up a shovel, and he made the grin
And planted me by the sea
Now the birds of the air nests on me
