Luyện nghe bài hát East Texas Red

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

I rode by night and by broad daylight in wind and 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 early in the morning and along towards or ten
A couple of boys on the hunt of a job stood in the wind
Hungry and cold they 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 cinder dump and he the number two
He kicked bucket over a bush and he dumped out all their stew
A traveler said, Mister 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 to Amarillo
They struck them a job of oil field and followed 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 Gulf bound
They shivered and shook with dough in their clothes to see Kilgore
Over hills of sand and hard froze roads the cotton wagons 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 and stuff to fix a stew once more
The ties they walk back past the till they come to the same old spot
Where East Texas Red just a year ago had dumped 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 waved old nine
He walked off down the cinder dump till he to the same old spot
And there was the same men again around that same little pot.

Red went to his 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 when the other two men set to eat their stew.
