South of Oklahoma
North of that Texas line
There's a long and winding road
Where I used to spend my time
Cannonball off the old bridge
Watermelon in the shade
Fishin´ line round your big toe
Arrowheads in the clay

Yeah yeah red Red River
Mighty river river roll
Yeah yeah Red River
Muddy water take me home
Red Red River
I used to wonder
Where did that river run
My heart just had to follow
The beat of that distant drum

Every road I travel takes me back
To the day you set me free
No matter where I go
You'll always be part of me
Yeah yeah red Red River
Mighty river river roll
Yeah yeah Red River
Muddy water take me home
Red Red River
