Tom Petty - Red River lyrics

rate me

She’s got a 3D Jesus in a picture frame

Got a child she’s never named

She shakes a snake above her hair

Talks in tongues when there’s no one there

So meet me tonight by the Red River

Where the water is clear and cold

Meet me tonight by the Red River

And look down into your soul

Look down into your soul

She’s got a rosary and a rabbit’s foot

A black cat bone that keeps her good

A tiger tooth and a gris-gris stick

Still it don’t do the trick

So meet me tonight by the Red River

Where the water is clear and cold

Meet me tonight by the Red River

And look down into your soul

Look down into your soul

I’m gonna walk her down to gypsy town

Find the spirit queen I’ve seen around

Paint her body up in mud and clay

Let the river wash it all away

So meet me tonight by the Red River

Where the water is clear and cold

Meet me tonight by the Red River

And look down into your soul

Look down into your soul

Look down into your soul
