Rory Gallagher - Ride On Red, Ride On lyrics

rate me

Well I left my home in Vicksburg and startet travelling north <br />

Made it to New Orleans as the bus was taking off <br />

The citizens' committee was giving away the fare <br />

Saying, "If you don't like the south, boy, just ride on outta here" <br />

Ride on, ride on Red, ride on <br />

Gonna ride off to my freedom <br />

And make those Northern States my home.<br />

We made it into Shreveport, where we were supposed to eat <br />

I got myself a sandwich and ate it on the street <br />

Ride on, Louisianna Red, ride on <br />

Gonna ride on to your freedom <br />

And make those Northern States your home.<br />

We made it into Little Rock, we made another state <br />

Took the whole of the U.S. army to make one school integrate <br />

Ride on, ride on Red, ride on <br />

Gonna ride on to your freedom <br />

And make those Northern States your home.<br />

Well I live here in New York and I am doing fine <br />

Have myself a ball above the Mason-Dixon line <br />

Ride on, ride on Red, ride on <br />

Gonna ride on to my freedom <br />

And make those Northern States my home.
