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 her and stood by her side
With a bucket that in his hand

His grin stretched the folds of his white cheeks
And his lips a dollop of murk on the curb
And the lights from the showed a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his hollow eyed

He said, "Little girl, you can chop off my
And then 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 stood looking down at the girl
And she stared at the bewildered
Then he the doll for the young girl to see
And a giant grew on his face

She saw the doll's eyes and she resist
And she the man quickly and ran to the church
And she burst through the door puppet held high
And a hush the chapel and the people looked mean

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

Through the window of the church, a storm began to
And Esther the time had come to flee
She scurried down the aisle 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 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 treetops they'd flutter and
Soaring and suspended on air
the earth far below them they'd tumble
And through the clouds

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

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

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

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

Naked now she made her way the shore
suddenly she felt a tiny tugging at her toe
And the she'd forgotten wrapped its tiny
Little 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 deep
And the sound of the laughing old man filled her
As she away to a tranquil and motionless sleep
