Luyện nghe bài hát The Mayor of Candor Lied

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

But I care
For I had found the answer to a plowboy's prayer
She was the daughter of the

The Mayor fought my courtship for he'd other plans
He saw her married to a 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
When he offered me his daughter
The Mayor of tried
To take her across the
What a thing to do to a man in love
What a thing to do to daughter

One day with 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 he is not alone

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

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

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

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

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

Oh Coleen, you know how I love you
There is no one I'd ever above you
Oh Coleen, you don't even me
To you there's nothing that's below me

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

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

I spit out my and my fury 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 saying we're just two of a kind
It hits me like a thunderbolt in my mind

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

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