Red River

From Palo

Duro Canyon outside

Amarillo Texas

The prairie dog town fork of the

Red River flows

Headed cross the plains along the coast of

Oklahoma To the

Mississippi

River and the

Gulf of Mexico

Red River

I know you

I know you of old

You have filled up my pockets with quicksand and gold

Susanna oh

Susanna when it comes my time

Bury me south of that

Red River line

My great grandfather came to that

Red River line

And camped on the north side until it was time

To cross or to stay to be sooner or not

He headed south to

San Antone they said he liked it hot

Here's to

Charlie Goodnight and

Mr. Loving too

Here's to

Coronado, the

Comanche, and the blues

Here's to the bootleggers and the oilfield crews

Here's to the one and all of us

Red River fools
