Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

It was late one fall night at a fairground near
Esther first saw the Armenian man
Who groveled her and stood by her side
With a bucket that in his hand

His grin stretched the folds of his pasty white
And his hurled a dollop of murk on the curb
And the from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his hollow eyed

He said, "Little girl, you can chop off my
And then off my socks if you want to
But I'd rather you took this old puppet me
That I in my pail as we speak"

And he stood down at the innocent girl
And she stared at the bucket
he lifted the doll for the young girl to see
And a smile grew on his face

She saw the eyes and she couldn't resist
And she thanked the man and ran to the church
And she burst the door with puppet held high
And a hush filled the and the people looked mean

Esther tried in to pacify the mob
Quibble to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The congregation struggled desperately to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled in Esther's leather sack

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

But the was blowing harder
And her skirt began to billow, finally her feet began to lift
And she rose above the houses and the people and the
And and the doll were set adrift

Floating over the hills
And the valleys and they'd flutter and glide
Soaring and turning on air
With the earth far below them tumble
And dive through the

And she began to earthward
Till she landed in the nasty of town
She about the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest of night

Nervously she fumbled for the that held the puppet on her rump
quite outnumbered Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited the dawn
'Cause it have been a blunder
To succumb to a on the prowl

When the came, she wandered through the streets
Along the lake that lay beside the town
At a peaceful moment, but she thought she heard a sound
It was an angry mob of coming up to knock her down

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

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

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