Red River - Guy Clark

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
