Lyrics:

From Palo Duro Canyon outside Amarillo Texas

The prairie dog town fork of the Red River flows

Headed cross the plains along the coast of Oklahoma

To the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico



Red River I know you I know you of old

You have filled up my pockets with quicksand and gold

Susanna oh Susanna when it comes my time

Bury me south of that Red River line



My great grandfather came to that Red River line

And camped on the north side until it was time

To cross or to stay to be sooner or not

He headed south to San Antone they said he liked it hot



Here's to Charlie Goodnight and Mr. Loving too

Here's to Coronado, the Comanche, and the blues

Here's to the bootleggers and the oilfield crews

Here's to the one and all of us Red River fools
