Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His grin stretched the of his pasty white cheeks
And his hurled a dollop of murk on the curb
And the lights from the rides a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his hollow stare

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

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

She saw the doll's eyes and she couldn't
And she thanked the man and ran to the church
And she burst through the with puppet held high
And a hush filled the chapel and the looked mean

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

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

But the wind was blowing
And her began to billow, until finally her feet began to lift
And she rose above the houses and the 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 far below them they'd tumble
And through the clouds

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

she fumbled for the pouch that held the puppet on her rump
Feeling quite Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited the dawn
it would have been a blunder
To succumb to a hoodlum on the

When the came, she wandered through the streets
Along the chilly lake that lay 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 Esther stood and shook her head the joggers approaching
And she knew she had no choice left but to
As the frosty water sank its teeth into her hide
She tried to the heavy clothing from her skin

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 to open and swallow her whole
As the doll pulled her down through the eerie deep
And the sound of the laughing old man filled her
As she drifted away to a tranquil and sleep
