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 by her side
With a bucket swung in his hand

His grin stretched the folds of his white cheeks
And his hurled a dollop of murk on the curb
And the from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
flashed in his hollow eyed 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 looking down at the innocent
And she at the bucket bewildered
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 with puppet held high
And a hush filled the 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 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 she felt she would be free

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

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

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

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

When the morning came, she 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 her head the joggers were approaching
And she she had no choice left but to swim
As the water sank its bitter teeth into her hide
She tried to slide the clothing from her skin

Naked now she her way toward the shore
When she felt a tiny tugging at her toe
And the she'd forgotten wrapped its tiny
arms around her ankle and wouldn't 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 laughing old man her ears
As she drifted to a tranquil and motionless sleep
