Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

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
flashed in his hollow eyed stare

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

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

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

Esther tried in vain to the mob
Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, then to
The frenzied congregation 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 had come to flee
She down the aisle toward the doorway in the distance
And out into the rainstorm she felt she would be free

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

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

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

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

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

As Esther stood and shook her head the joggers were
And she knew she had no choice left but to
As the frosty water sank its teeth into her hide
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 forgotten its tiny
arms around her ankle and wouldn't let her go

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