Luyện nghe bài hát East Texas Red

Down in the scrub oak timber of the Southeast Gulf
There used to ride a and a brakeman double tough
He the town of Kilgore and Longview nine miles down
Us trav'lers called him East Texas Red the bull around.

I rode by night and by broad daylight in wind and and sun
I always seen little East Texas Red sporting his running gun
The tale got down the stems and main and everybody said
The meanest man on the shiny was little East Texas Red.

It was early in the and along towards nine or ten
A couple of on the hunt of a job stood in the blizzardy wind
Hungry and cold they knocked on the doors of the working around
For a piece of meat and a spud or two to boil a around.

Red he down the cinder dump and he flagged the number two
He kicked their bucket over a and he dumped out all their stew
A traveler said, Mister East Texas Red you get everything fixed
'Cause gonna ride your little train just one year from today.

Red he laughed as he clumb the bank and swung aside of a
The boys caught a tanker to Seminole and west to
They struck them a job of oil field and followed a pipe line down
It took them of places till the year had rolled around.

On one cold and wintery day they hooked them a bound train
They shivered and shook with dough in their to see Kilgore again
Over hills of sand and hard froze roads where the cotton wagons
On past the town of and on to old Longview.

With their warm suits of and overcoats they walk into a store
They pay the man for some meat and stuff to fix a once more
The ties they back past the yards till they come to the same old spot
Where East Texas Red just a year ago had dumped their last pot.

The smoke of their fire went higher and higher a man down the line
He his head in the blizzardy wind and waved old number nine
He walked off the cinder dump till he come to the same old spot
And there was the same men again around that same little pot.

Red went to his and he hollered,
Please don't that trigger on me.
I did not get my business but he did not get his say
A gun wheeled out of an and it played the old one two
And Red was dead when the other two men set down to eat stew.
