Luyện nghe bài hát East Texas Red

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

I rode by night and by daylight in wind and snow and sun
I always seen little East Texas Red his smooth running gun
The got switched down the stems and main and everybody said
The meanest man on the shiny rails was little East 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 of meat and a spud or two to boil a stew around.

Red he come down the dump and he flagged the number two
He kicked bucket over a bush and he dumped out all their stew
A traveler said, Mister East Texas Red you better get everything
'Cause you're gonna ride your 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 took them lots of till the year had rolled around.

On one cold and wintery day they hooked them a Gulf train
They shivered and shook with dough in 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 suits of clothes and overcoats they walk into a
pay the man for some meat and stuff to fix a stew once more
The ties they walk back the yards till they come to the same old spot
Where East Red just a year ago had dumped their last stew pot.

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

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