Which-a way, which-a way, the blood Red River run?
Tell me, babe, which-a way do it run?
Some says East, some says it's West
Tell me, babe, which-a way do it run?
Over my back window, Lord, to the risin' --
I's a-went down to the Southern new depot
Freight train come rollin' by
I's thinkin' about good time, once have had
Hung down my head and I cried
Lord, I hung down my weary head and --
Freight train runn'd off the track last night
And it killed my woman dead
Her head was found in driver's wheel
And her body have never been -- mmm
Which-a way, which-a way the blood Red River --
The longest train I ever seen
Run 'round Joe Brown's coal mine
The engine was at the Four-Mile Hill
And the cab had never left town
Which-a way, which-a way the blood Red River
Goin' away, gonna stay
'Had my money, I'd go today
Which-a way do the blood Red River --
Which-a way, which-a way, do the blood Red River run?
Tell me, babe, which-a way do it run?
Some says it's East, and some says it's West
Tell me, babe, which way do it run?
