Red River Blues - Jorma Kaukonen

Me and my gal went huckleberry hunting,

She shot a bear and I shot something,

Lord Lord got them Red River Blues.

'Shot that bear just to watch him run.

Tried and tried to get my gun,

Lord Lord got them Red River Blues.

Slipping and sliding up and down the banks,

gained my self a flank to flank,

Lord Lord got them Red River Blues.

Big alligator got me a bite my toe.

You ought to see me and that gator go,

Lord Lord got them Red River Blues.

Uncle Bud’s got this, uncle Bud’s got that,

Uncle Bud hit mom with a baseball bat,

Lord Lord got them Red River Blues.

Uncle Bud’s got a Ford ain’t got no Fenders,

It sends Bud like drain goes sender,

Lord Lord got them Red River Blues.

All down shame raise up the glass,

Will have have a little talk of the past,

Lord Lord got them Red River Blues.

Here I am in this dirty old jail,

Ain’t got Bud to pay the bills,

Lord Lord got them Red River Blues.

Went to see my gal win and run,

Oldman left her with a shotgun,

Lord Lord got them Red River Blues.

All you boys take advice from me,

Tell all the women who’ll let you be,

Lord Lord got them Red River Blues.
