Luyện nghe bài hát Texas Trilogy: Bosque County Romance

Mary Martin was a schoolgirl just or so
When she Billy Archer about fourteen years ago
Not even out of high folks said, It wouldn't last
But when you grow up in the country you grow up fast

They married in a hurry in before school was out
Folks said that she was pregnant "Just wait and find out"
It about that winter one gray November morn
The first of many more to come a baby boy was

And is their game
And is the name they give to the acres that they own
Well if the Brazos don't run dry and the newborn they don't die
Another year from will have flown
year from Mary will have flown

And now Billy kept what cattle his could afford
As went across the cactus in a 1950 ford
But the cows were sick and skinny and the was all that grew
But Billy kept the place the only thing he knew

And Mary the supper and Mary scrubbed the clothes
And Mary busted horses and blew the baby's
And and a shotgun kept the rattlesnakes away
And how she kept on smiling no one could say

And cattle is game
And Archer is the they give to the acres that they own
If the Brazos run dry and the newborn calves don't die
Another from Mary will have flown
Another from Mary will have flown

Now the of '57 was a curse upon the land
No one in Bosque County could give Bill a helping
The was cracked and broken and the truck was out of gas
And cows can't feed on prickly instead of growing grass

Well the weather got the water and a snake bite a child
And a fire in the old barn the hay that Bill had piled
The mortgage got the money and the screw got the cows
The years have for Mary, she's waiting for them now

And cattle is game
And Archer is the name they give to the acres they own
If the Brazos run dry and the newborn calves they don't die
Another year Mary will have flown
Another from Mary will have flown

Six o'clock silence of a new day is heard in the small Texas town
Like a signal from the people lived their
Then up and moving around
'Cause began to fry and the biscuits to bake
On the left the salvation out or you won't take
You the windows and u turn on the fan
it's harder then hell when the sun hits the ground
