Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His grin stretched the of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of murk on the
And the lights from the showed a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his eyed stare

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

And he stood looking down at the 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 doll's eyes and she couldn't
And she the man quickly and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with held high
And a filled the chapel and the people looked mean

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

Through the of the church, a storm began to rage
And Esther knew the time had to flee
She down the aisle toward the doorway 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 and the chimneys
And and the doll were set adrift

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

And she to plummet 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 pouch that held the on her rump
Feeling quite outnumbered hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, she waited till the dawn
it would have been a blunder
To succumb to a on the prowl

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

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

Naked now she her way toward the shore
suddenly she felt a tiny tugging at her toe
And the puppet she'd wrapped its tiny
Little around her ankle and wouldn't let her go

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