Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

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 showed a mischievous
flashed in his hollow eyed stare

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

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

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 puppet held
And a hush filled the chapel and the looked mean

tried in vain to pacify the mob
Quibble to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The frenzied congregation struggled to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in leather sack

Who rob and pillage in the hour of night

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

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

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

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