Luyện nghe bài hát East Texas Red

Down in the scrub oak timber of the Texas Gulf
used to ride a brakeman and a brakeman double tough
He worked the town of Kilgore and nine miles down
Us trav'lers called him East Red the meanest bull around.

I rode by night and by daylight in wind and snow and sun
I seen little East Texas Red sporting his smooth running gun
The got switched down the stems and main and everybody said
The meanest man on the shiny rails was East Texas Red.

It was in the morning and along towards nine or ten
A couple of boys on the of a job stood in the blizzardy wind
Hungry and they knocked on the doors of the working folks around
For a of meat and a spud or two to boil a stew around.

Red he come down the cinder dump and he flagged the two
He their bucket over a bush and he dumped out all their stew
A traveler said, Mister Texas Red you better get everything fixed
'Cause you're gonna ride your little train just one year today.

Red he as he clumb the bank and swung aside of a wheeler
The boys caught a to Seminole and west to Amarillo
They struck them a job of oil work and followed a pipe line down
It took them lots of till the year had rolled around.

On one cold and wintery day they them a Gulf bound train
shivered and shook with dough in their clothes to see Kilgore again
Over hills of sand and hard froze roads the cotton wagons roll
On past the of Kilgore and on to old Longview.

With their warm suits of clothes and overcoats walk into a store
They pay the man for meat and stuff to fix a stew once more
The ties they walk past the yards till they come to the same old spot
Where East Red just a year ago had dumped their last stew pot.

The smoke of fire went higher and higher a man come down the line
He ducked his head in the blizzardy wind and waved old nine
He walked off down the cinder till he come to the same old spot
And there was the same three men again around same little pot.

Red went to his and he hollered,
Please don't pull that on me.
I did not get my business but he did not get his say
A gun wheeled out of an and it played the old one two
And Red was dead when the other two men set to eat their stew.
