Ride on, Red, Ride On |
| Ride on |
| Ride on red |
| ride on! |
| I left my home in Vicksburg |
| and startet travelling north |
| Made it to New Orleans |
| as the bus was taking off |
| The citizens' is committee |
| was giving away the fare |
| «If you don’t like the south, boy, |
| just get out away from here» |
| Ride on, |
| ride on Red, |
| ride on |
| ride off to my freedom |
| And make the North your home. |
| We made it into Shreveport, |
| where we were supposed to eat |
| I got myself a sandwich |
| and eat it on the street |
| Ride on, |
| ride on Red, |
| ride on |
| Gonna ride to your freedom |
| make the North your home. |
| We made it into Little Rock, |
| we made another state |
| took the whole of the U.S. army |
| make one school integrate |
| Ride on, |
| ride on Red, |
| ride on |
| Gonna ride on to your freedom |
| And make the North your home. |
| Well I live here in New York |
| and I am doing fine |
| Have myself a ball |
| above the Mason-Dixon line |
| Ride on, |
| ride on Red, |
| ride on |
| Gonna ride on to my freedom |
| And make the North your home. |
