"Where The Old Red River Flows" lyrics

Where The Old Red River Flows

Well, I'm dreaming tonight of Dixie
Cotton fields and whippoorwills
Where I used to live and wander
Through the rocks and through the rivers

I can see my old dear mammy
While around the place she'd go
On my farm in Louisiana
Where the old Red River flows

You can hear those darkies crooning
Soft and low
And the twilight in the evening
So low
So low
On my farm in Louisiana
Where the old Red River flows

Oh, the lights tonight on Broadway
Electric lights shine 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

You can hear those darkies crooning
Soft and low
And the twilight in the evening
So low
So low
On my farm in Louisiana
Where the old Red River flows
