[00:00.00]East Texas Red - Arlo Guthrie
[00:04.12]Written by:Woody Guthrie
[00:08.24]Down in the scrub oak timber of the southeast Texas gulf
[00:16.83]There used to ride a brakeman and a brakeman double tough
[00:25.44]He worked the town of Kilgore and Longview nine miles down
[00:34.08]Us trav'lers called him east Texas red the meanest bull around
[00:42.74]I rode by night and by broad daylight in wind and snow and sun
[00:51.36]I always seen little east Texas red sporting his smooth running gun
[01:00.02]The tale got switched down the stems and main and everybody said
[01:08.65]The meanest man on the shiny rails was little east Texas red
[01:17.31]It was early in the morning and along towards nine or ten
[01:25.99]A couple of boys on the hunt of a job stood in the Blizzardy wind
[01:34.93]Hungry and cold they knocked on the doors of the working folks around
[01:43.27]For a piece of meat and a spud or two to boil a stew around
[01:52.23]Red he come down the cinder dump and he flagged the number two
[02:00.50]He kicked their bucket over a bush and he dumped out all their stew
[02:09.14]A traveler said mister east Texas red you better get everything fixed
[02:17.66]'Cause you're gonna ride your little train just one year from today
[02:26.44]Red he laughed as he clumb the bank and swung aside of a wheeler
[02:35.32]The boys caught a tanker to Seminole and west to Amarillo
[02:43.88]They struck them a job of oil field work and followed a pipe line down
[02:52.42]It took them lots of places till the year had rolled around
[03:01.38]On one cold and Wintery day they hooked them a gulf bound train
[03:09.87]They shivered and shook with dough in their clothes to see Kilgore again
[03:18.30]Over hills of sand and hard froze roads where the cotton wagons roll
[03:27.16]On past the town of Kilgore and on to old Longview
[03:35.52]With their warm suits of clothes and overcoats they walk into a store
[03:44.49]They pay the man for some meat and stuff to fix a stew once more
[03:52.91]The ties they walk back past the yards till
[03:57.37]They come to the same old spot
[04:01.75]Where east Texas red just a year ago had dumped their last stew pot
[04:10.40]The smoke of their fire went higher and higher a man come down the line
[04:18.87]He ducked his head in the Blizzardy wind and waved old number nine
[04:27.50]He walked off down the cinder dump till he come to the same old spot
[04:36.37]And there was the same three men again around that same little pot
[04:44.65]Red went to his knees and he hollered
[04:48.21]Please don't pull that trigger on me
[04:53.27]I did not get my business fixed but he did not get his say
[05:01.90]A gun wheeled out of an overcoat and it played the old one two
[05:10.74]And red was dead when the other two men set down to eat their stew
