Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

It was late one fall at a fairground near town
When Esther first saw the man
Who toward her and stood by her side
With a bucket swung in his hand

His stretched the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of murk on the
And the lights from the rides a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his hollow eyed

He said, "Little girl, you can off my legs
And then peel off my socks if you to
But I'd rather you this old puppet from me
That I hold in my as we speak"

And he stood looking at the innocent girl
And she stared at the bucket
Then he the doll for the young girl to see
And a giant grew on his face

She saw the doll's and she couldn't resist
And she the man quickly and ran to the church
And she through the door with puppet held high
And a hush filled the chapel and the people mean

tried in vain to pacify the mob
Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, to brawl
The frenzied struggled desperately to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's leather

the window of the church, a storm began to rage
And Esther the time had come to flee
She scurried down the toward the doorway in the distance
And out into the rainstorm where she felt she would be

But the wind was blowing
And her skirt began to billow, until her feet began to lift
And she above the houses and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the doll were set

Floating higher the hills
And the valleys and treetops they'd and glide
Soaring and suspended on air
With the far below them they'd tumble
And dive through the

And she to plummet earthward
Till she in the nasty part of town
She glanced the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of

Nervously she for the pouch that held the puppet on her rump
Feeling outnumbered Esther hid behind
A nearby of lumber, where she waited till the dawn
'Cause it would have a blunder
To succumb to a hoodlum on the

When the morning came, she wandered the streets
Along the chilly lake lay beside the town
At last a peaceful moment, but she she heard a sound
It was an mob of joggers coming up to knock her down

As Esther stood and her head the joggers were approaching
And she knew she had no left but to swim
As the frosty water sank its bitter teeth into her
She tried to slide the heavy clothing from her

now she made her way toward the shore
When suddenly she a tiny tugging at her toe
And the puppet she'd wrapped its tiny
Little arms around her ankle and let her go

The waves seemed to and swallow her whole
As the doll pulled her down the eerie green deep
And the of the laughing old man filled her ears
As she drifted away to a and motionless sleep
