Would you wait, would you wait
'Till that blood red river run
From my back window to the rising sun
Oh, I love her, Lord I love her
Tell this whole wide world I do
But the way you mistreat to me's coming back home to you
[Humming]
Red river, red river, won't you tell me what to do
Mmm, worried as I can be
Oh, I love her, Lord I love her
But she treats me so unkind
Oh, she keeps me worried and bothered all the time
Which-a-way, which-a-way
Do that blood red river run
From my back window to the rising sun
Going to sing these blues
And I ain't gonna sing no more
'Cause the woman I love, Lord, she drove me from her door
Which-a-way, which-a-way
Do that blood red river run
From my back window to the rising sun
