RED RIVER

Lyrics: Douglas E. Watts
Music: Jimmie L. Westley Jr
Performed by Naked Truth



1st Verse

THE TIDE RUNS HIGH AT THE WISHING WELL
THESE WAVES SO TALL THAT I JUST CAN’T TELL
WHERE THE RED RIVER FLOWS WHERE DOES THE RED RIVER GO
WE’VE DIED SO LONG FOR OUR BROTHERS RED
THEY’VE CON US AND HATED US TILL WE CAN NO LONGER
FEEL

(Bridge)

HOME OF THE FEW AND GHETTO OF THE MANY
JUSTICE IS LONG OVER DO
EQUALITY NEVER BEEN FUFILLED
WILL SOME LOOK TODAY OR THE FUTURE ASSURED TO NOONE
SAVE TOMMOROW FOR THESE BLACK SOULS
DAM THE RIVER FROM WHERE THE BLOOD FLOWS

(Verse music starts again)

WHERE THE RED RIVER GOES
WHERE THE BLOOD FLOWS



2nd Verse

WELL THE SCORPION BITES YOUR HEELS
AND POISONS YOUR HEAD
SOMEWAY ALONG THE WAY WE FORGOT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MAN
SO I ASK YOU WHY THIS NEEDLESS EXPLOITATION
I ASK YOU WHY DOES RACISM PERVERT THSES NATIONS

(Bridge)

PRIDE LIVES AND DIES
IN A CHILD WITH AN EMPTY BELLY
NOWHERE CAN LOVE FIND THE LIGHT OF TODAY
WILL SOMEONE LOOK TODAY
OR THE FUTURE ASSURED TO NOONE
SAVE TOMMOROW FOR THESE BRITE SOULS
DAMN THE RIVER FROM WHERE THE BLOOD FLOWS

(Music Change to Outro)

WHERE THE RED RIVER FLOWS



(2X times)

WE’RE HOPING AND WE PRAYIN
THAT YOU HEAR WHAT WHAT WE’RE SAYING

(LEAD BREAK)


(2X times)

WE’RE HOPING AND WE PRAYIN
THAT YOU HEAR WHAT WHAT WE’RE SAYING
