Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His grin stretched the of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of on the curb
And the lights from the showed a mischievous sparkle
That in his hollow eyed stare

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

And he stood looking at the innocent girl
And she stared at the bucket
Then he lifted the doll for the young 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 door with puppet held
And a hush filled the chapel and the looked mean

Esther in vain to pacify the mob
grew to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The frenzied congregation struggled to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's sack

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

But the was blowing harder
And her skirt began to billow, until 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 the hills
And the valleys and treetops they'd and glide
Soaring and suspended on air
the earth far below them they'd tumble
And through the clouds

And she to plummet earthward
Till she landed in the nasty part of
She glanced about the sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest of night

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

When the morning came, she wandered through the
Along the chilly lake that lay beside the
At last a moment, but she thought she heard a sound
It was an angry mob of joggers 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 sank its bitter teeth into her hide
She tried to slide the clothing from her skin

Naked now she made her way toward the
When suddenly she a tiny tugging at her toe
And the puppet she'd forgotten wrapped its
Little arms around her and wouldn't let her go

The waves seemed to 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
