Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

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

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

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

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

tried in vain to pacify the mob
Quibble to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The frenzied congregation struggled desperately to
The pretty puppet nestled deep in Esther's leather sack

Through the window of the church, a 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 where she felt she would be free

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

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

And she began to earthward
Till she landed in the nasty of town
She glanced the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and in the darkest hour of night

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

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 a sound
It was an angry mob of coming up to knock her down

As Esther stood and shook her head the were approaching
And she knew she had no choice left but to
As the frosty water its bitter teeth into her hide
She tried to slide the heavy clothing from her

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

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