Luyện nghe bài hát Mr. Shorty

Nobody knew where he came
They only knew he in
he walked to the end of the bar
And he ordered up one of gin

Well, I could see that he wasn't a man
I could tell that he wasn't too
I him to be 'bout five foot three
And his voice was a soft Texas

Said he was needin' some
'Fore he could for the west
Said he could do most all of work
Said he could with the best

There in his blue eyes was
That comes from the need of a
And tho' he tried, he couldn't hide
The loneliness deep within

Said he would work through the
For thirty a and his board
I started to say where he might a job
When a fellow in through the door

And I could tell he was for trouble
the way that he came stompin' in
He me to leave Shorty there by himself
Come and wait on a man

The eyes of the man narrowed
The smile disappeared his face
was the friendliness that I had seen
And a look of hate took its place

But the big one continued to him
And he told me that I'd go
Find him a couple of glasses of
Then maybe Shorty would

the little man spoke, there was stillness
He made sure everyone heard
Slowly he stepped away the bar
And I still these words

Oh, it's plain you're lookin' for trouble
Trouble's I try to shun
If that's what you want, then that's what get
'Cause cowboy, we're both packin'

His hand was already
Feet wide on the floor
I noticed but there on his hip
Was a short bass forty-four

It was plain, he was and waitin'
He a bit forward and said
"When you call me Shorty, say Mister, my
Maybe you'd be dead"

In the was a terrible silence
As the big one stepped out on the
All drinkin' stopped and the tick of the
Said death would wait ten seconds

He cussed or twice in a whisper
And he said with a snarl on his
Nobody's to me, little man
And he for the gun on his hips

But the little hands was like lightning
The bass forty-four was the
The forty-four spoke and it lead and smoke
And seventeen inches of

For the big one had cleared leather
Beaten before he could
A little round hole had on his shirt
The bullet clear through his heart

The little man there a moment
Then the bass forty-four
It's always this way so I never
he walked out the door

Nobody knew where he came
won't forget he came by
They won't forget how a gun
One made the difference in size

As for me, I'll remember the
in the eyes of the man
If we meet someday, you can bet I say
That it's me, Mr. Shorty, friend
