Luyện nghe bài hát The Mayor of Candor Lied

In the little town of Candor in the year of my youth
I learned the lesson of the levels to the truth
My father was a farmer he'd go in the ground
My mother was a neighbor she'd go around

But I didn't
For I had found the answer to a plowboy's lonely
She was the of the Mayor

The Mayor my courtship for he'd made other plans
He saw her to a better man than a boy with farmer's hands
I said, I hate your father, it's so not to strike him
She said, you I love you because you're so much like him

And so I'd go sneaking in the
And she'd stand a crying in the dawn as I was leaving

But the Mayor of lied
When he me his only daughter
The of Candor tried
To take her the water
What a to do to a young man in love
a thing to do to your daughter

One day with father on his tractor and mother off
I go to find the mayor and work out I can
But he is not at his office, he is not at his
When I find him in the he is not alone

He is a woman and imagine my surprise
As she jumps back from his arms, I look into my mother's

All my thoughts of outrage, embarrassment and
washed away by what came roaring through my brain
The Mayor's at my mercy and I my own voice say
Your run for re-election is one month away

And the world will know of what I've seen here, sir
But I'll be with daughter, is my meaning clear?

My mother in horror at the compromise we made
But the Mayor's rueful smile says the piper must be
I had a month of joy in heaven from deal I'd made in hell
What was to happen my friend a prophet could not tell

The day his re-election and the victory celebration
The Mayor takes his family on a month foreign vacation

Oh Coleen, you know how much I you
There is no one I'd place above you
Oh Coleen, you even know me
To have you there's that's below me

But time always after all
And as the summer follows so does the winter follow fall

The day that they return I stand waiting on the
I watch the car drive up, I the passengers unload
Of course she there, of course I should have known
The Mayor says she has stayed, the decision was her own

I spit out my hatred and my fury at his
When he says you tried to blackmail me, just as bad as I
He says, go and do your damndest, your mother to the streets
You know been too many years, I had to be discreet

And as he there saying we're just two of a kind
It hits me like a thunderbolt exploding in my

As I look into his leering wrinkled mirror of my own face
He and sneers and says, of course dear son
Where do you you came from in the first place?

The Mayor of Candor
he offered me his only daughter
The of Candor tried
To take her the water
What a thing to do to a young man in
a thing to do to your daughter
