Luyện nghe bài hát The Mayor of Candor Lied

In the little of Candor in the last year of my youth
I the final lesson of the levels to the truth
My father was a farmer he'd go tilling in the
My was a neighbor she'd go visiting around

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

The fought 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, so hard not to strike him
She said, you know I you because you're so much like him

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

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

One day with father on his tractor and off again
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 countryside he is not

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

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

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

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

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

Oh Coleen, you know how I love 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 spring so does the winter fall

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

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

And as he stands there saying just two of a kind
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
Where do you think you came from in the first

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