INTRO SOLO
REFRAIN: Which-a way, which-a way do the red Red River run?
It weren't no river, just a small stream where I come from
It will come a storm some night, come a storm some day
Come a storm some night, it will come a storm some day
When that stream would rise, it would wash my troubles away
SOLO
REFRAIN: Which-a way, which-a way do the red Red River run?
It weren't no river, just a small stream where I come from
I would go down to that river, I would set down on the shore
Go down to that river, I would set down on the shore
Oh Lord, hold my hand, don't let me fall overboard
SOLO
REFRAIN: Which-a way, which-a way do the red Red River run?
It weren't no river, just a small stream where I come from
That river is deep and that river is long
That river is deep and that river's long
And if I get across, then I'm goin' back home
