Red River Blues Take 1 by Lottie Kimbrough Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Red River flows like dago wine
The Red River flows like dago wine
A mystery 'bout it that stays on my mind

[Verse 2]
I'm going to that river, going just for fun
I'm going to that river, going just for fun
I'm going to do something I ain't never done

[Verse 3]
I've been done so dirty, treated so doggone mean
I've been done so dirty, treated so doggone mean
I've been 'cused of things I ain't never seen

[Verse 4]
I wish I knew how much life was mine
I wish I knew how much life was mine
I'd sail away, live down by the Rhine

[Verse 5]
I'm goin' away, wear you off my mind
I'm going away, wear you off my mind
I refuse to stay with the mistreating kind
[Verse 6]
These blues a Jonah, you say what you choose
Oh, blues is a Jonah, say what you choose
They're sure gon' kill you, these Red River blues
