[Verse 1]
I was down Red River when the boat came along
I was down red river when the boat came along
Well it took my baby and left me all alone
[Kazoo Solo]
[Verse 2]
Rather be in Red River floatin' on a log
I'd rather be in Red River floatin' on a log
Than to be 'round here, treated like a dog
[Verse 3]
Float on, red river, float on
I said flow on, red river, flow on
This old river'll be flowin' while I'm dead and gone
[Verse 4]
Now my baby, she's on the other side
Now my baby, she's on the other side
I would swim Red River, but it's too deep and wide
