  39 Some of us turn off the lights and we live
  40                           F
  41 In the moonlight shooting by
  42                               C
  43 Some of us scare ourselves to death in the dark
  44                        G      C/g  G
  45 To be where the angels fly
  46 C
  47  Pretty maids all in a row lined up
  48                  F
  49 Outside my cabin door
  50                              C
  51 I've never wanted any of 'em wanting me
  52                          G         C
  53 Except the girl from the red river shore

  58 Well I sat by her side and for a while I tried
  59 To make that girl my wife
  60 She gave me her best advice and she said
  61 Go home and lead a quiet life
  62 Well I been to the east and I been to the west
  63 And I been out where the black winds roar
  64 Somehow though I never did get that far
  65 With the girl from the red river shore
  66 </pre>
  67
  68
  69 <pre class="verse">
  70 Well I knew when I first laid eyes on her
  71 I could never be free
  72 One look at her and I knew right away
  73 She should always be with me
  74 Well the dream dried up a long time ago
  75 Don't know where it is anymore
  76 True to life, true to me
  77 Was the girl from the red river shore
  78 </pre>
  79
  80 <pre class="verse">
  81 Well I'm wearing the cloak of misery
  82 And I've tasted jilted love
  83 And the frozen smile upon my face
  84 Fits me like a glove
  85 Well I can't escape from the memory
  86 Of the one I'll always adore
  87 All those nights when I lay in the arms
  88 Of the girl from the red river shore
  89 </pre>
  90
  91 <pre class="verse">
  92 Well we're living in the shadows of a fading past
  93 Trapped in the fires of time
  94 I've tried not to ever hurt anybody
  95 And to stay out of the life of crime
  96 And when it's all been said and done
  97 I never did know the score
  98 One more day is another day away
  99 From the girl from the red river shore
 100 </pre>
 101
 102 <pre class="verse">
 103 Well I'm a stranger here in a strange land
 104 But I know this is where I belong
 105 I'll ramble and gamble for the one I love
 106 And the hills will give me a song
 107 Though nothing looks familiar to me
 108 I know I've stayed here before
 109 Once a thousand nights ago
 110 With the girl from the red river shore
 111 </pre>
 112
 113 <pre class="verse">
 114 Well I went back to see about her once
 115 Went back to straighten it out
 116 Everybody that I talked to had seen us there
 117 Said they didn't know who I was talking about
 118 Well the sun went down on me a long time ago
 119 I've had to pull back from the door
 120 I wish I could have spent every hour of my life
 121 With the girl from the red river shore
 122 </pre>
 123
 124 <pre class="verse">
 125 Now I heard of a guy who lived a long time ago
 126 A man full of sorrow and strife
 127 That if someone around him died and was dead
 128 He knew how to bring 'em on back to life
 129 Well I don't know what kind of language he used
 130 Or if they do that kind of thing anymore
 131 Sometimes I think nobody ever saw me here at all
 132 Except the girl from the red river shore
