Luyện nghe bài hát Texas Trilogy: Bosque County Romance

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

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

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

And now Billy kept cattle his daddy could afford
As went bouncing across the cactus in a 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 cooked the supper and Mary scrubbed the clothes
And Mary busted and blew the baby's nose
And Mary and a shotgun the rattlesnakes away
And how she kept on smiling no one could say

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 don't die
Another year from will have flown
Another from Mary will have flown

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

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

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

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