Luyện nghe bài hát Devil Pays in Gold

Gus checked his pocket-watch it was a quarter past
He a train to Baton Rouge and bought a copy of the times.
Pulled out a faded picture of a woman with black hair
She had gone out and he prayed hed find her there.

She met a gambler who said from New Orleans
Gus knew he fancied her but she him too it seemed
He followed the trail of broken stories he heard that she left town,
She was packed and gone by the he turned around

He talked to the man a while that had tore the stubs
If he finds that son of a he was gonna spill that Cajun blood
There would not be a mojo man who save him from that day
He had crossed the line and was hell to pay

Well the 10 oclock from San it departed right on time
He lit up a cigarette as the tracks began to
The Texas heat had felt like without his woman there
The maiden with the coal black hair

Youre gonna live and die by the blade and youll reap you sow
Cause life the things that on our way to growing old
If the truth was known to woman she could her lovers soul
She that the devil pays in gold.

The into the station and he packed his cap and ball
He went to check the hotels if he needed to them all
He knew all he had to do was to a game of cards
He could drop the ace of spades on the of hearts

He the downstairs card room where the high rollers stayed
One chair stood empty the last table left to play
He pulled a stool up to the bar but he could not see a
Till a loud mouth Yankee bet his ladys

Pulled a pistol on the desk clerk cause he would not take a bribe and he shouted
Give me their number and you might walk out
The next thing from the clerks was the number forty-four
And he upstairs and he ran on out the door

He found the and was ready to go inside
He put a to the door and it flew open wide
The he reached for his gun but he would not get a shot
Gus had his aim and he let that drop

The gambler lay before him he was sprawled across chair
But was his maiden with the coal black hair
He didnt know she stood him, she had gone for wine and bread
He hit the floor her bullet struck his head.
