Luyện nghe bài hát Devil Pays in Gold

Gus his pocket-watch it was a quarter past nine
He a train to Baton Rouge and bought a copy of the times.
Pulled out a faded picture of a woman with black hair
She had gone out east and he prayed hed her there.

She met a gambler who said from New Orleans
Gus knew he fancied her but she him too it seemed
He followed the trail of broken stories till he heard that she town,
She was packed and gone by the time he turned

He talked to the man a while that had the ticket stubs
If he that son of a bitch he was gonna spill that Cajun blood
There not be a mojo man who would save him from that day
He had crossed the line and was hell to pay

Well the 10 oclock from San Antone it departed right on
He lit up a as the tracks began to whine
The Texas heat had felt like hell without his there
The Spanish with the coal black hair

Youre gonna live and die by the and youll reap what you sow
Cause life the things that on our way to growing old
If the truth was known to woman she could her lovers soul
She that the devil pays in gold.

The pulled the station and he packed his cap and ball
He went to check the hotels if he to check them all
He knew all he had to do was to find a game of
He could drop the ace of spades on the of hearts

He found the downstairs card room the high rollers stayed
One chair stood empty from the table left to play
He a stool up to the bar but he could not see a thing
Till a loud mouth Yankee bet his ladys

Pulled a pistol on the desk clerk cause he would not take a bribe and he shouted
Give me their number and you might out alive
The next thing from the lips was the number forty-four
And he upstairs and he ran on out the door

He the room and was ready to go inside
He put a to the door and it flew open wide
The gambler he reached for his gun but he would not get a
Gus had his aim and he let hammer drop

The gambler lay him he was sprawled across that chair
But where was his maiden the coal black hair
He didnt know she stood him, she had gone for wine and bread
He hit the floor when her struck his head.
