[Verse]
     D                        G        D
From Palo Duro Canyon outside Amarillo Texas
                                 G         A
The prairie dog town fork of the Red River flows
D                                 G              D
Headed cross the plains along the coast of Okla- homa
                                 G       A     D
To the Mississippi river and the Gulf of Mexi- co

   D                              G         D
My great grand daddy came to that Red river line
                                  G          A
And camped on the north side, un- til it was time
   D                       G         D
To cross or to stay, to be sooner or not
        D                                G       A        D
Well he headed south to San Antone, they said he liked it hot

[Chorus]
    G       D           G           D
Red River I know you, I know you of old
         D      D/C#  Bm      A    G             A
You have filled up my pockets with quicksand and gold
    G            D     G                D
Su- sanna oh Su- sanna when it comes my time
          D    D/C# Bm    A       G   A     D
Won't you bur- y me south of that Red river line

    D                               G         D
Now here's to Charlie Goodnight and Mr Loving too
    D                           G              A
And here's to Coronado, the Co- manche and the blues
D                                 G         D
Here's to the bootleggers and the oil field crews
D                               G   A     D
Here's to the one and all of us Red river fools

[Chorus]
    G       D           G           D
Red River I know you, I know you of old
         D      D/C#  Bm      A    G             A
You have filled up my pockets with quicksand and gold
    G            D     G                D
Su- sanna oh Su- sanna when it comes my time
          D    D/C# Bm    A       G   A     D
Won't you bur- y me south of that Red river line

    G            D     G                D
Su- sanna oh Su- sanna when it comes my time
       D    D/C# Bm    A       G   A     D
Please bur- y me south of that Red river line
