| [00:09.81] |
Some of us turn off the lights and we live |
| [00:13.65] |
|
| [00:15.40] |
In the moonlight shooting by |
| [00:18.91] |
|
| [00:20.22] |
Some of us scare ourselves to death in the dark |
| [00:25.94] |
|
| [00:26.98] |
To be where the angels fly |
| [00:31.54] |
|
| [00:35.29] |
Pretty maids all in a row lined up |
| [00:39.37] |
|
| [00:40.74] |
Outside my cabin door |
| [00:44.90] |
|
| [00:46.25] |
I've never wanted any of 'em wanting me |
| [00:50.17] |
|
| [00:50.96] |
Except the girl from the red river shore |
| [00:55.48] |
|
| [00:58.98] |
Well I sat by her side and for a while I tried |
| [01:04.01] |
|
| [01:05.12] |
To make that girl my wife |
| [01:08.32] |
|
| [01:10.74] |
She gave me her best advice and she said |
| [01:14.93] |
|
| [01:16.00] |
Go home and lead a quiet life |
| [01:20.29] |
|
| [01:23.55] |
Well I been to the east and I been to the west |
| [01:28.79] |
|
| [01:29.09] |
And I been out where the black winds roar |
| [01:33.51] |
|
| [01:34.67] |
Somehow though I never did get that far |
| [01:39.07] |
|
| [01:39.85] |
With the girl from the red river shore |
| [01:44.54] |
|
| [01:47.82] |
Well I knew when I first laid eyes on her |
| [01:52.98] |
|
| [01:54.00] |
I could never be free |
| [01:57.85] |
|
| [01:59.41] |
One look at her and I knew right away |
| [02:03.68] |
|
| [02:04.53] |
She should always be with me |
| [02:11.64] |
|
| [02:12.18] |
Well the dream dried up a long time ago |
| [02:17.49] |
|
| [02:18.25] |
Don't know where it is anymore |
| [02:21.71] |
|
| [02:23.59] |
True to life, true to me |
| [02:27.72] |
|
| [02:28.17] |
Was the girl from the red river shore |
| [02:33.90] |
|
| [02:36.15] |
Well I'm wearing the cloak of misery |
| [02:41.34] |
|
| [02:42.31] |
And I've tasted jilted love |
| [02:45.90] |
|
| [02:47.36] |
And the frozen smile upon my face |
| [02:52.79] |
|
| [02:53.02] |
Fits me like a glove |
| [02:58.39] |
|
| [03:00.06] |
Well I can't escape from the memory |
| [03:06.23] |
Of the one I'll always adore |
| [03:09.92] |
|
| [03:11.36] |
All those nights when I lay in the arms |
| [03:16.18] |
Of the girl from the red river shore |
| [03:20.47] |
|
| [03:24.27] |
Well we're living in the shadows of a fading past |
| [03:29.85] |
|
| [03:30.26] |
Trapped in the fires of time |
| [03:34.70] |
|
| [03:35.43] |
I've tried not to ever hurt anybody |
| [03:39.53] |
|
| [03:40.59] |
And to stay out of the life of crime |
| [03:45.03] |
|
| [03:48.98] |
And when it's all been said and done |
| [03:53.45] |
|
| [03:54.03] |
I never did know the score |
| [03:59.06] |
|
| [03:59.33] |
One more day is another day away |
| [04:03.36] |
|
| [04:04.05] |
From the girl from the red river shore |
| [04:09.84] |
|
| [04:12.09] |
Well I'm a stranger here in a strange land |
| [04:17.75] |
|
| [04:18.13] |
But I know this is where I belong |
| [04:23.07] |
I'll ramble and gamble for the one I love |
| [04:28.26] |
And the hills will give me a song |
| [04:33.67] |
|
| [04:36.01] |
Though nothing looks familiar to me |
| [04:43.43] |
I know I've stayed here before |
| [04:47.30] |
|
| [04:47.54] |
Once a thousand nights ago |
| [04:52.27] |
With the girl from the red river shore |
| [04:57.46] |
|
| [05:01.00] |
Well I went back to see about her once |
| [05:06.31] |
Went back to straighten it out |
| [05:10.99] |
|
| [05:11.38] |
Everybody that I talked to had seen us there |
| [05:16.01] |
Said they didn't know who I was talking about |
| [05:24.16] |
Well the sun went down on me a long time ago |
| [05:30.28] |
I've had to pull back from the door |
| [05:35.35] |
|
| [05:35.59] |
I wish I could have spent every hour of my life |
| [05:40.08] |
|
| [05:40.23] |
With the girl from the red river shore |
| [05:45.29] |
|
| [05:47.83] |
Now I heard of a guy who lived a long time ago |
| [05:52.79] |
|
| [05:53.56] |
A man full of sorrow and strife |
| [05:57.80] |
|
| [05:58.25] |
That if someone around him died and was dead |
| [06:03.07] |
|
| [06:03.54] |
He knew how to bring 'em on back to life |
| [06:10.99] |
|
| [06:12.06] |
Well I don't know what kind of language he used |
| [06:16.41] |
|
| [06:16.69] |
Or if they do that kind of thing anymore |
| [06:20.66] |
|
| [06:22.06] |
Sometimes I think nobody ever saw me here at all |
| [06:26.61] |
|
| [06:26.93] |
Except the girl from the red river shore |
| [06:31.75] |
|
