Luyện nghe bài hát Texas Trilogy: Bosque County Romance

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

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

And cattle is their
And Archer is the name they 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 will have
Another year from will have flown

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

And Mary cooked the supper and Mary scrubbed the
And Mary busted horses and the baby's nose
And Mary and a shotgun kept the rattlesnakes
And how she on smiling no one could ever say

And is their game
And Archer is the name they give to the acres that own
If the Brazos don't run dry and the calves don't die
Another year from Mary will have
Another year 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 cracked and and the truck was out of gas
And cows feed on prickly pear instead of growing grass

Well the weather got the water and a snake took a child
And a fire in the old barn took the hay that Bill had
The mortgage got the money and the screw worm got the
The years have come for Mary, waiting for them now

And cattle is game
And Archer is the name they give to the that they own
If the Brazos run dry and the newborn calves they 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 small Texas
Like a signal nowhere the people lived their
up and down moving around
'Cause this began to fry and the biscuits to
On the store left the out or you won't take
You open the windows and u on the fan
'Cause it's harder then when the sun hits the ground
