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 |
