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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[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] That's the way the girls are from Texas

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[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] That's the way the girls are from Texas

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

[00:02:58] '65 Fairlane Ford

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

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

[00:03:04] Store

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:36] In tearful supplication

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

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

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

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

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

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

[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] That's the way the girls are from Texas

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

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

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

[00:04:14] Case dismissed "

[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] That's the way the girls are from Texas
