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 called him East Red the meanest bull around.

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

It was early in the morning and along towards or ten
A couple of boys on the hunt of a job in the blizzardy wind
and cold they knocked 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 down the dump and he flagged the number two
He kicked their bucket a bush and he dumped out all their stew
A said, Mister East Texas Red you better get everything fixed
'Cause gonna ride your little train just one year from today.

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

On one and wintery 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 hard roads where the cotton wagons roll
On past the of Kilgore and on to old Longview.

their warm suits of clothes and overcoats they 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 they to the same old spot
Where East Texas Red just a year ago had dumped their last pot.

The of their fire went higher and higher a man come down the line
He ducked his 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 three men around that same little pot.

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