Luyện nghe bài hát The Mayor of Candor Lied

In the town of Candor in the last 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 was a neighbor she'd go visiting around

But I care
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 father, it's so hard 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 there she'd a crying in the dawn as I was leaving

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

One day father on his tractor and mother 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 holding a and imagine my surprise
As she jumps back from his arms, I look into my mother's

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

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

My looks in horror at the compromise we made
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 then my friend a prophet could not tell

The day after his and the victory celebration
The Mayor takes his family on a long foreign vacation

Oh Coleen, you know how much I you
There is no one I'd place above you
Oh Coleen, you don't know me
To have you there's nothing below me

But time passes after all
And as the summer follows spring so does the follow fall

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

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

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

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

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