Текст песни
[Куплет 1] Sun on the cane rows, burnin’ my eyes Red clay road cut through the june sky Tires throw dust like a poor man’s prayer I been runnin’ these miles, baby, i been there Black creek bend where the cypress lean Mud on my boots and the air so mean [Предприпев] Ooh, the wind got teeth Ooh, the river don’t sleep It talk to me low Says, boy, keep your feet [Припев] Red clay river, carry me on Red clay river, all day long I can’t quit this land It got hold of my hand Red clay river, carry me on (Red clay river) (Red clay river) [Куплет 2] Bluff line high where the hawks cut wide Cottonmouth shadows on the far-bank tide Cornfields waving like a ragged choir Smoke from a shack in the evening fire One tall pine and a broken fence Gulls on the bayou, all common sense [Предприпев] Ooh, the sky gone gold Ooh, the night come bold If i lose my name Let the ground hold gold [Припев] Red clay river, carry me on Red clay river, all day long I can’t quit this land It got hold of my hand Red clay river, carry me on (Red clay river) (Red clay river) [Бридж] Hear that thunder roll the low land bare Pearl moon drippin’ in the heavy air If the whole world breaks, i’ll still be here With a hard white grin and a soul full of grit Mountains bow down, coastlines fade But this old delta keeps its own old shade [Припев] Red clay river, carry me on Red clay river, all day long I can’t quit this land It got hold of my hand Red clay river, carry me on (Red clay river) (Red clay river)
