Rory Gallagher - Ride On Red, Ride On Lyrics
Well I left my home in Vicksburg and startet travelling northMade it to New Orleans as the bus was taking offThe citizens' committee was giving away the fareSaying, "If you don't like the south, boy, just ride on outta here"Ride on, ride on Red, ride onGonna ride off to my freedomAnd make those Northern States my home.We made it into Shreveport, where we were supposed to eatI got myself a sandwich and ate it on the streetRide on, Louisianna Red, ride onGonna ride on to your freedomAnd make those Northern States your home.We made it into Little Rock, we made another statetook the whole of the U.S. army to make one school integrateRide on, ride on Red, ride onGonna ride on to your freedomAnd make those Northern States your home.Well I live here in New York and I am doing fineHave myself a ball above the Mason-Dixon lineRide on, ride on Red, ride onGonna ride on to my freedomAnd make those Northern States my home.
