The Girls From Texas (LP版) - Ry Cooder (莱·库德)[00:00:00]

Well I met a girl from Texas 'bout a year ago[00:00:11]

Hadn't known her for too long[00:00:16]

When I had to let her go[00:00:18]

You see she had a razor was ten inches or so[00:00:21]

And every night you'd hear her knocking at my door[00:00:25]

She said "Baby I'll give you the clothes on my back[00:00:29]

You can have everything that I've got in my shack[00:00:34]

But if you ever try to leave they'll take your out in sack[00:00:38]

'Cause me and my razor will see to that"[00:00:43]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:00:48]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:00:52]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:00:57]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:01:01]

I thought about my situation decided not to tarry[00:01:16]

For my own self preservation[00:01:21]

I decided we should marry[00:01:23]

When the preacher started reading[00:01:25]

'Bout 'till death do us part[00:01:27]

I told him "Skip it [00:01:29]

We had that understanding right from the start"[00:01:31]

She said "Baby I'll give you the clothes on my back[00:01:34]

You can have everything that I've got in my shack[00:01:38]

But if you ever try to leave they'll take your out in sack[00:01:42]

'Cause me and my razor will see to that"[00:01:47]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:01:51]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:01:56]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:02:00]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:02:05]

Well we settled down got me a little old job [00:02:55]

'65 Fairlane Ford[00:02:58]

Every Friday night I would stop in[00:03:00]

And cash my pay check down at the grocery[00:03:02]

Store[00:03:04]

They had a little girl worked in there [00:03:05]

Must have been about seventeen[00:03:07]

She was the cutest thing I had ever seen[00:03:11]

It's the same old story[00:03:15]

And I'm afraid it wasn't too very long[00:03:16]

Before we had fallen deeply in love[00:03:19]

And I knew it was wrong[00:03:22]

I said baby we got to stop this thing right here[00:03:25]

Or my woman is gonna cut my throat[00:03:29]

From ear to ear that's right[00:03:32]

In tearful supplication [00:03:36]

She looked up in my face[00:03:37]

I could feel her heart was breaking[00:03:40]

As these sad words she did say[00:03:42]

"You should have told me you was married baby[00:03:45]

She pulled out a forty-five and let me have it [00:03:48]

Right smack between the eyes[00:03:52]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:03:55]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:04:00]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:04:04]

She was guilty I was dead[00:04:07]

Now what'd you think that the old judge said [00:04:08]

"Ah that's just the way the girls are down here in Texas[00:04:11]

Case dismissed "[00:04:14]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:04:15]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:04:17]

That's the way the girls are from Texas[00:04:22]
