Luyện nghe bài hát Texas Trilogy: Bosque County Romance

Mary was a schoolgirl,
seventeen or so,
When she Billy Archer
About fourteen years
Not even out of school,
said it wouldn't last;
But when you up in the country,
You grow up fast.
They in a hurry,
In before school was out,
Folks said she was pregnant,
"Just wait and find out."
It came about winter,
One November morn,
The of many more to come,
A boy was born.
And is their game,
And is the name
they give to the acres that they
If the Brazos run dry,
And the newborn don't die,
Another year from Mary have flown,
Another year from will have flown.
Now Billy what cattle
His daddy afford,
Bouncing the cactus
in a Ford;
The were sick and skinny,
And the was all that grew,
But Billy kept the alive,
The only he knew.
And cooked the supper,
And scrubbed the clothes,
And Mary horses,
And blew the nose,
And and a shotgun
the rattlesnakes away;
How she on smiling,
No one ever say.
Now the of '57
Was a curse the land,
No one on County
Could give Bill a hand;
The ground was and broken,
And the was out of gas,
And cows feed on prickly pear
of growing grass.
Well the got the water,
And a bite took a child,
And a in the old barn
took the hay that Bill had
The got the money,
And the got the cows,
The years have for Mary,
waiting for them now.
