Lyrics:
Runnin' hard and runnin' fastTryin' to get awayGoin' to the bayouWhere no one knows my nameNo one knows my nameWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my graveWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my graveWell, I had a job real good payWatching summer's cropsMade a hundred bucks a dayGuardin' those green topsGuardin' those green topsWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my graveWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my graveAugust night up real highRifle in my handWhiskey drinks, forty winksThey cleared my buddy's landCleared my buddy's landWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my graveWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my graveWell I spent my time in IdabelJust tryin' to get aheadFriends I've known all my lifeAre wishin' I was deadWishin' I was deadWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my graveWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my graveRunning hard, runnin' fastTryin' to get awayGoin' to the bayouWhere no one knows my nameNo one knows my nameWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my graveWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my graveWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my graveWon't you hide me Pa'Fore the Red River is my graveIs my grave
