Luyện nghe bài hát The Mayor of Candor Lied

In the little town of in the last year of my youth
I learned the lesson of the levels to the truth
My father was a farmer go tilling 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 daughter of the

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

And so I'd go in the evening
And there she'd stand a crying in the dawn as I was

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

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

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

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

And the world never know of what I've seen here, sir
But I'll be with daughter, is my meaning clear?

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

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

Oh Coleen, you know how much I you
There is no one I'd ever place you
Oh Coleen, you even know me
To have you there's nothing that's me

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

The day that they return I waiting on the road
I watch the car drive up, I watch the unload
Of course she isn't there, of course I should known
The says that she has stayed, the decision was her own

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

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

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

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