Luyện nghe bài hát East Texas Red

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

I rode by night and by broad daylight in and snow and sun
I always little East Texas Red sporting his smooth running gun
The tale got switched down the stems and and everybody said
The meanest man on the shiny rails was little East 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 of the working folks around
For a of meat and a spud or two to boil a stew around.

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

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

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

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

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

Red went to his 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 overcoat and it the old one two
And Red was dead when the other two men set to eat their stew.
