Luyện nghe bài hát East Texas Red

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

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

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

Red he come down the cinder dump and he flagged the two
He their 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 your little train just one year from today.

Red he as he clumb the bank and swung aside of a wheeler
The boys caught a to Seminole and west to Amarillo
They struck them a job of oil field work and a pipe line down
It them lots 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 clothes to see Kilgore
Over hills of sand and hard froze roads where the cotton roll
On the town of Kilgore and on to old Longview.

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

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

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