Lyrics: Kingston Trio. Red River Shore.

At the foot of yon mountain, where the big river flows
There's a fond creation and a soft wind that blows
There lives a fair maiden, she's the one I adore
She's the one I will marry on the Red River shore

She wrote me a letter, she wrote it so kind
And in that letter, these words you will find
"Come back to me, darling, you're the one I adore
You're the one I will marry on the Red River shore"

I jumped on my bronco and away I did ride
To marry my true love on the Red River side
But her pa knew the secret and with twenty and four
Come to fight this young cowboy on the Red River shore

I grabbed my six shooter, spun 'round and 'round
'Til six men were wounded and seven were down
I can't fight an army of twenty and four
When I'm bound for my true love on the Red River shore

At the foot of yon mountain, where the big river flows
There's a fond creation and a soft wind that blows.
And there lives a fair maiden, she's the one I adore
But never will marry on the Red River shore
