Luyện nghe bài hát East Texas Red

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

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

It was early in the morning and towards nine or ten
A of boys on the hunt of a job stood 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 their bucket over a bush and he dumped out all stew
A traveler said, Mister East Texas Red you better get fixed
'Cause you're ride your little train just one year from today.

Red he laughed as he clumb the bank and swung of a wheeler
The boys caught a to Seminole and west to Amarillo
They struck them a job of oil field work and followed a pipe line
It took them of places 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 their clothes to see again
Over hills of sand and hard froze where the cotton wagons roll
On past the 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 stuff to fix a stew once
The ties they walk back past the yards till come to the same old spot
Where East Red just a year ago had dumped their last stew pot.

The smoke of their 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 come to the same old
And there was the same three men again around that same pot.

Red went to his and he hollered,
Please don't pull trigger 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 other two men set down to eat stew.
