Luyện nghe bài hát East Texas Red

Down in the scrub oak timber of the Southeast Texas
There used to ride a brakeman and a brakeman 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 in wind and snow and sun
I always seen little East Texas Red sporting his running gun
The tale got switched down the stems and and everybody said
The man on the shiny rails was little East Texas Red.

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

Red he come down the cinder dump and he flagged the two
He kicked their bucket over a bush and he dumped out all their
A traveler said, Mister East Texas Red you better get 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 tanker to Seminole and west to
They struck them a job of oil field work and followed a pipe down
It took them lots of places the year had rolled around.

On one cold and wintery day they hooked them a Gulf bound
They shivered and shook dough in their clothes to see Kilgore again
hills of sand and hard froze roads where the cotton wagons roll
On past the 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 they walk back past the yards till come to the same old spot
Where East Texas Red just a 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 and waved old number nine
He walked off down the cinder dump till he come to the old spot
And there was the same three men again around that same pot.

Red went to his and he hollered,
Please don't pull that 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.
