Where the Old Red River Flows

E A
Well I'm dreamin' about Dixie cotton fields and whippoorwills
E B7
Where I spent my happy childhood among the rocks and among the rills
E A
I can see my dear old mommy as around the place she goes
E B7 E
To my home in Louisiana where the old Red River flows
E A
Hi-lee-oh-layoo you can hear the hippies singing soft and low
E B7 E
On my farm in Louisiana where the old Red River flows

E A
Well the nights are bright on Broadway and the city's bright as day
E B7
On the beach at Coney Island where the liquors make you gay
E A
I'm headin' south tonight dear on the IC where she goes
E B7 E
To my home in Louisiana where the old Red River flows
