Luyện nghe bài hát East Texas Red

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Red to his knees and he hollered,
Please don't that trigger on me.
I did not get my fixed 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 two men set down to eat their stew.
