Luyện nghe bài hát East Texas Red

Down in the scrub oak timber of the Southeast Texas
There used to ride a brakeman and a brakeman tough
He worked the town of and Longview nine miles down
Us called him East Texas Red the meanest bull around.

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

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

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

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

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

With warm suits of clothes and overcoats they walk into a store
They pay the man for some meat and to fix a stew once more
The they walk back 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 their fire went higher and a man come down the line
He ducked his in the blizzardy wind and waved old number nine
He walked off down the cinder dump till he to the same old spot
And there was the same three men again around same little pot.

Red to his knees 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 down to eat stew.
