Tonalité : G major
Verse 1
D
G
Down in the Struggled Timber,
C
G
that Southeast Texas gold
Used to ride an old brakeman,
D
a brakeman double tough
G
He worked the town of Kilgore
C
G
and Longview nine miles down
C
G
Us travelers called him East Texas Red,
D
G
the meanest bull around
If you rode by night or by
broad daylight
C
G
In the wind, in the snow or sun
You'd always see little East
Texas Red
D
Sportin' that smooth runnin' gun
G
The tail got switched down to stems
and mains
C
And everybody said
G
C
The meanest bull
G
on them shiny rails
D
G
was Little East Texas Red
It was early in the morning,
C
G
around near nine or ten
When a couple of boys on the
hunt for jobs
D
stood out in the blizzardy wind
G
Hungry and cold,
they knocked on the doors
C
G
of the working folks around for
C
G
a piece of meat or a spud or two
D
G
to boil the stew around
Red come down off the cinder dump
C
G
and he waved off number two
He kicked their stew pot into
the bush
D
and he dumped out all their stew
G
One traveler said,
Mr. East Texas Red,
C
G
you better get your business right
C
Cause you won't ride
G
your westbound train
D
G
just one year from tonight
Reddy just left and climbed up the bank,
C
G
swung on the side of a wheeler
The boys caught a boxcar to Seminole
D
and on west out to Amarillo
G
They struck them a job of oil
field work
C
G
and they followed the pipeline down
C
G
It took them many places
D
G
until one year rolled around
It was on one cold and wintry day
C
they got them a Gulf
G
-bound train
They shivered and they shook
with their money and their clothes
D
to go see Kilgore again
G
Over hills of sand and hard
-froze roads
C
G
where the cotton wagons roll
C
G
On past the town of Kilgore
D
G
and into Longview
Where their warm
suits and clothes
and their jackets
C
G
They walked into a store
They paid the man for some
meat and stuff
D
To boil the stew once more
G
They walked the tires back
past the yard
C
G
Till they got to the same spot
C
Where East Texas Red,
G
just one year before,
D
G
had dumped out their stew pot
The smoke from their fire went
higher and higher
C
G
and his man come down the line
He ducked his head into the blizzardy
wind
D
and he waved off number nine
G
He come down off the cinder dump
C
G
and down to the same spot
C
And there was the same
G
two men again,
D
G
around that same stupor
Red went to his knees
and he hollered,
C
G
Please don't pull that trigger on me
I did not get my business right
D
But the man did not hear his plea
G
A gun came out of an overcoat
C
G
He got hit with the one and two
C
And Red lay dead
G
when the other two men
D
sat down to eat their stew.
