Luyện nghe bài hát Tom Ames' Prayer

Everyone in Nacadoches knew Tom would come to some bad end
Well the sheriff had cought him stealin' and such
by the that he was ten
And one day his daddy took a ten bill
and he tucked it in his
He said I can tell you're for trouble son
and your momma understand

So he took that and his brothers old bay
and he without a word of thanks
Fell in with a crowd in some town
and to robbin' banks

Outside the law luck will run out fast
and a few came and went
'Till trapped in an alley in Abilene
with all but shells spent

And he realized prayin' was the only
he hadn't ever tried
Well he wasn't sure he quite how
but he up to the sky

Said you owe me nothin' and as far as I know
don't owe nothin' to you
And I askin' for a miracle Lord
just a bit of luck will do

And you I ain't never prayed before
but it always to me
If prayin' is the same as beggin'
I take no charity

Yeah but now Lord with my back to the wall
help but recall
How they nearly me for stealin' a horse
in Smith Arkansas

Judge Parker said guilty and the gavel down
just like a shot
And I away quietly
and I to file and plot

Well they sent the down to my cell
He said the is your only hope
the only friend that you gonna have
When you hit the end of Parker's

I guess he coulda' kept on preachin' 'till Christmas
but he turned his on me
I put a made blade to that golden throat
and asked the for the key

Well it ain't the first close call I had
I'm you already know
I had some from you Lord and the devil himself
It's been strictly and go

Yeah but who in the am I talkin' to
ain't no one here but me
Then he cocked both his and he spit in the dirt
and he walked out in the
