Where the old red river flows
As I sit and think of dixie cotton fields and whippoorwills Where I spent my happy childhood among the rocks and among the rills I can see my dear old mother as around the place she gones On my farm in Louisiana where the old red river flows I-ee-o-lay-ee You can hear the people singing soft and low And at twilight in the evening So soft and low, so low On my farm in Louisiana where the old red river flows Well the lights are bright tonight on Brosdway the cities fair as day On the beach at Coney Island where the breezes make you gay I'm heading south tonight love on the IC when she goes To my farm in Louisiana where the old red river flows * Refrain
