Where the Old Red River Flows Lyrics by Jimmie Davis

Top 100 Classics: The Very Best Of Jimmie Davis

0

[Verse 1]
On my farm in Louisiana where the old red river flows
The neon lights on Broadway make the city bright and gay
They're rocking and-a-rollin' and-a-twisting at the Peppermint Lounge all day
But I got my ticket and I'm leaving on the big train when she goes
To my farm in Louisiana where the old red river flows
[Chorus]
Hi-lee-oh-layee
You can hear the banjo strummin' soft and low
And at twilight in the evening so low, so low
So low, so low
On my farm in Louisiana where the old Red River flows
[Verse 2]
I'm dreaming tonight of Dixie sugar cane and whippoorwills
Where I spent my happy childhood among the rocks and among the rills
I can see my sweet little angel just-a-waiting for me to show
On my farm in Louisiana where the old Red River flows
[Chorus]
Hi-lee-oh-layee
You can hear the banjo strummin' soft and low
And at twilight in the evening so low, so low
So low, so low
On my farm in Louisiana where the old Red River flows
[Outro]
On my farm in Louisiana where the old Red River flows
