Luyện nghe bài hát East Texas Red

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

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

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

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

Red he laughed as he 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 and followed a pipe line 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 with dough in their 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 warm of clothes and overcoats they walk into a store
pay the man for some meat and stuff to fix a stew once more
The ties they walk back past the till they come to the same old spot
Where Texas Red just a year ago had dumped their last stew pot.

The smoke of their fire went higher and higher a man come down the
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 again around same little pot.

Red to his knees and he hollered,
Please don't 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 when the other two men set to eat their stew.
