Red River Blues Take 2 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 mistreated at least since I was a child
I've been mistreated at least since I was a child
These doggone men are tryin' to run me wild

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

[Verse 5]
I'vе been done so dirty, treated so doggonе mean
I've been done so dirty, treated so doggone mean
I've been accused of things I ain't never seen
[Verse 6]
These blues is a Jonah, say what you choose
These blues is a Jonah, say what you choose
They're sure gon' kill you, these Red River blues
