to the southeast Texas Gulf,
there used to ride a brakeman,
A
and Longview
twelve miles down.
E
A
E
And the travelers all said that Little East Texas Red,
B
E
he was the meanest bull around
If you rode by night or
the broad daylight,
A
E
in the wintry wind or the sun
You would always see
Little East Texas Red,
the stems and manes
A
E
And everybody said that the
A
E
meanest bull on them shiny irons
A
E
it was along towards nine or ten
A couple of boys on the hunt of a job,
E

For a piece of meat and a
B

just to boil a stew around
Well East Texas Red come down
the line
a bush
Little East Texas Red,
A
E
you better get your business straight
B

just one year from today
Well Red, he laughed and
he climbed the bank
A
E
and he swung on the side of a wheeler
And the boys caught a
tanker to Salmonell,
oil field work
E
A
E
It took them lots of places
B
E
before that year had rolled around
Then on a cold and a windy morn
A
E
they caught them a gulf -bound train
They shivered and shook with a dough
in their clothes
and their overcoats
A
E
they walked into a store
B
E
just to boil the stew once more
The ties they tracked down
that cinder dump
just one year ago
went higher and higher
in that wintry wind
the jungle yards
A
E
and he came to the same old spot
A
E
And there was the same two men again
overcoat
A
E
And it played that 0 -1 -2.
B

Sat down to eat their stew. you
