psayers@ns.sympatico.ca Lyr Req: Red River Shore / New River Shore (26) Red River Shore 23 Jun 99


I have an old newspaper cliping that has been torn. I believe that it was in a Boston newspaper around 1920. some of the words are as follows, to what tune I do not know."Your beauty's a plenty, your the one I adore; You'er the one I would marry on the Red River shore." I ask her old father, would he give her to me? "No, sir, she shan't marry no cowboy," said he. So I jumped on my bronco and away I did ride And left my true love on the Red River side.

She wrote me a letter, and she wrote it so kind. And in this letter, these words you could find; "Come back to me, darling, you're the one I adore, You're the I would marry on the Red River shore."

So I jumped on my bronco and away I did ride To marry my true love on the Red River side. But her dadknew the secret, and with twenty and four Came to fight this young cowboy on Red River shore.

I drew my six-shooter, shooting round after round then ????????? it is missing. any information on the rest of the words would be appreciated. Thanks Peter
