Luyện nghe bài hát Texas Trilogy: Bosque County Romance

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

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

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

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

And Mary cooked the supper and Mary scrubbed the
And Mary busted and blew the baby's nose
And Mary and a shotgun kept the rattlesnakes
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 don't run dry and the newborn don't die
Another year Mary will have flown
Another year from Mary will flown

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

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

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

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