Blood Red River Lyrics by Josh White (Blues)

Josh White Vol. 1 1929-1933

0

Would you wait, would you wait
'Till that blood red river run
From my back window to the rising sun

Oh, I love her, Lord I love her
Tell this whole wide world I do
But the way you mistreat to me's coming back home to you

[Humming]

Red river, red river, won't you tell me what to do
Mmm, worried as I can be

Oh, I love her, Lord I love her
But she treats me so unkind
Oh, she keeps me worried and bothered all the time

Which-a-way, which-a-way
Do that blood red river run
From my back window to the rising sun

Going to sing these blues
And I ain't gonna sing no more
'Cause the woman I love, Lord, she drove me from her door

Which-a-way, which-a-way
Do that blood red river run
From my back window to the rising sun
