Which a‑way which a‑way : do that Blood Red River run
Run from my window : to that rising sun
Now that jumper says loader : please send me six foot of
clay
Because that Blood Red River mama : is rising six foot a
day
Go down to the camp : and tell my brother Bill
The woman he's loving : is sure going to get him killed
Now the reason why these men here : they sure don't draw
no more
Right from the long table : back to that commissary door
Now I love to hear : that M and O whistle blow
I'm in a world of trouble God knows : and I got to go
Now I got two women : and I don't know one apart
There's one in my bosom : t'other one in my heart
