RIDE ON RED, RIDE ON
As recorded by Rory Gallagher
(From the 1982 Album JINX)

[Intro]
N.C. A
Ride on Red, ride on

[Verse 1]
A
Well I left my home in Vicksburg and startet travelling north
A
Made it to New Orleans as the bus was taking off
A
The citizens' committee was giving away the fare
N.C.
Saying, "If you don't like the south, boy, just ride on outta here"

[Chorus]
D A
Ride on, ride on Red, ride on
E
Gonna ride off to my freedom
D A
And make those Northern States my home

[Verse 2]
G A N.C. G A N.C.
We made it into Shreveport, where we were supposed to eat
G A N.C. A N.C.
I got myself a sandwich and I eat it on the street

Ride on, Louisiana Red, ride on
E
Gonna ride on to your freedom
D A
And make those Northern States your home
