Where the Old Red River Flows (2019 - Remaster) Songtext
von Hank Williams

Let′s go back, boys, in memory anyhow
For a little trip down there "Where the Old Red River Flows"
Let's go

Well, I′m dreaming tonight of Dixie cotton fields and Whippoorwills
Where I used to live and wander through the rocks and through the rivs
I can see my old dear mammy while around the place she goes
On my farm in Louisiana where the old Red River flows

Haa-dee-dee-o-low-hoo-hoo
Wow-woo-hoo-hoo-hoo
You can hear those darkies crooning soft and low
And the twilight in the evening
So low, so soft and low
Woo, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo
On my farm in Louisiana where the old Red River flows


Well, the lights tonight on broadway, electric lights they bright as day
On the beach at Coney Island, where the laughter makes you gay
But I'm going back tonight, love, on the icy wind she goes
To my farm in Louisiana where the old Red River flows

Haa-dee-dee-o-low-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo
You can hear those darkies crooning soft and low
And the twilight in the evening
So low, so soft and low
Woo, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo
On my farm in Louisiana where the old Red River flows

The old Red River flows, down in Louisiana
You ever fish in that river?
Never did catch a thing, that's a good fishing in the Red River
More of them folks down in Lousiana, they really know where they are too
