Guy Clark - Red River Lyrics
From Palo Duro Canyon outside Amarillo TexasThe prairie dog town fork of the Red River flowsHeaded cross the plains along the coast of OklahomaTo the Mississippi River and the Gulf of MexicoRed River I know you I know you of oldYou have filled up my pockets with quicksand and goldSusanna oh Susanna when it comes my timeBury me south of that Red River lineMy great grandfather came to that Red River lineAnd camped on the north side until it was timeTo cross or to stay to be sooner or notHe headed south to San Antone they said he liked it hotHere's to Charlie Goodnight and Mr. Loving tooHere's to Coronado, the Comanche, and the bluesHere's to the bootleggers and the oilfield crewsHere's to the one and all of us Red River fools
