1
Some of us turn off the lights and we live
2
In the moonlight shooting by
3
Some of us scare ourselves to death in the dark
4
To be where the angels fly
5
Pretty maids all in a row lined up
6
Outside my cabin door
7
I've never wanted any of 'em wanting me
8
Except the girl from the Red River shore
9
Well, I sat by her side and for a while I tried
10
To make that girl my wife
11
She gave me her best advice and she said
12
Go home and lead a quiet life
13
Well, I been to the east and I been to the west
14
And I been out where the black winds roar
15
Somehow though I never did get that far
16
With the girl from the Red River shore
17
Well, I knew when I first laid eyes on her
18
I could never be free
19
One look at her and I knew right away
20
She should always be with me
21
Well, the dream dried up a long time ago
22
Don't know where it is anymore
23
True to life, true to me
24
Was the girl from the Red River shore
25
Well, I'm wearing the cloak of misery
26
And I've tasted jilted love
27
And the frozen smile upon my face
28
Fits me like a glove
29
Well, I can't escape from the memory
30
Of the one I'll always adore
31
All those nights when I lay in the arms
32
Of the girl from the Red River shore
33
Well, we're living in the shadows of a fading past
34
Trapped in the fires of time
35
I've tried not to ever hurt anybody
36
And to stay out of the life of crime
37
And when it's all been said and done
38
I never did know the score
39
One more day is another day away
40
From the girl from the Red River shore
41
Well, I'm a stranger here in a strange land
42
But I know this is where I belong
43
I'll ramble and gamble for the one I love
44
And the hills will give me a song
45
Though nothing looks familiar to me
46
I know I've stayed here before
47
Once a thousand nights ago
48
With the girl from the Red River shore
49
Well, I went back to see about her once
50
Went back to straighten it out
51
Everybody that I talked to had seen us there
52
Said they didn't know who I was talking about
53
Well, the sun went down on me a long time ago
54
I've had to pull back from the door
55
I wish I could have spent every hour of my life
56
With the girl from the Red River shore
57
Now I heard of a guy who lived a long time ago
58
A man full of sorrow and strife
59
That if someone around him died and was dead
60
He knew how to bring 'em on back to life
61
Well, I don't know what kind of language he used
62
Or if they do that kind of thing anymore
63
Sometimes I think nobody ever saw me here at all
64
Except the girl from the Red River shore
