From Palo Duro Canyon outside Amarillo Texas The prairie dog town fork of the Red River flows Headed 'cross the plains for the coast of Oklahoma To the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico My great grand-daddy came to that Red River line And he camped on the north side until it was time To cross or to stay to be sooner or not Well he headed south to San Antione, they said he liked it hot 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 Won't you bury me south of that Red River line? Now here's to Charlie Goodnight and Mr. Loving too And here's to Coronado, the Comanche, and the blues And here's to the bootleggers and the oilfield crews And here's to the one and all of us Red River fools 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 Just you bury me south of that Red River line Susanna oh Susanna, when it comes my time Please bury me south of that Red River line
