Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His grin stretched the folds of his pasty white
And his lips hurled a dollop of murk on the
And the lights the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
flashed in his hollow eyed stare

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

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

She saw the doll's and she couldn't resist
And she thanked the man and ran to the church
And she through the door with puppet held high
And a filled the chapel and the people looked 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 deep in Esther's leather sack

Through the window of the church, a storm began to
And Esther knew the time had come to
She scurried 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, until finally her feet began to
And she above the houses and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the doll set adrift

higher over the hills
And the valleys and treetops flutter and glide
and turning suspended on air
With the earth far below them they'd
And dive the clouds

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

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

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

As Esther stood and shook her head the 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 from her skin

Naked now she her way toward 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 waves seemed to and swallow her whole
As the doll pulled her down through the eerie green
And the sound of the laughing old man her ears
As she drifted away to a tranquil and motionless
