Peg Leg Howell — Blood Red River

Which-a way, which-a way, the blood Red River run? Tell me, babe, which-a way do it run? Some says East, some says it's West Tell me, babe, which-a way do it run? Over my back window, Lord, to the risin' -- I's a-went down to the Southern new depot Freight train come rollin' by I's thinkin' about good time, once have had Hung down my head and I cried Lord, I hung down my weary head and -- Freight train runn'd off the track last night And it killed my woman dead Her head was found in driver's wheel And her body have never been -- mmm Which-a way, which-a way the blood Red River -- The longest train I ever seen Run 'round Joe Brown's coal mine The engine was at the Four-Mile Hill And the cab had never left town Which-a way, which-a way the blood Red River Goin' away, gonna stay 'Had my money, I'd go today Which-a way do the blood Red River -- Which-a way, which-a way, do the blood Red River run? Tell me, babe, which-a way do it run? Some says it's East, and some says it's West Tell me, babe, which way do it run?
