Lyrics
- RIDE ON, RIDE ON RED, RIDE ON
- WELL I LEFT MY HOME IN VICKSBURG
- AND STARTED TRAVELING NORTH,
- MADE IT TO NEW ORLEANS AS THE BUS WAS TAKING OFF
- THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE WAS GIVING AWAY THE FARE
- SAYING, ‘IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE SOUTH, BOY,
- JUST RIDE ON OUTTA HERE’
- RIDE ON, RIDE ON RED, RIDE ON
- GONNA RIDE OFF TO MY FREEDOM
- AND MAKE THOSE NORTHERN STATES MY HOME
- WE MADE IT TO SHREVEPORT, WHERE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO EAT
- I GOT MYSELF A SANDWICH AND ATE IT ON THE STREET.
- RIDE ON, LOUISIANA RED, RIDE ON
- GONNA RIDE ON TO YOUR FREEDOM
- AND MAKE THOSE NORTHERN STATES YOUR HOME
- WE MADE IT INTO LITTLE ROCK, WE MADE ANOTHER STATE
- TOOK THE WHOLE OF THE U.S. ARMY
- TO MAKE ONE SCHOOL INTEGRATE
- RIDE ON, RIDE ON RED, RIDE ON
- GONNA RIDE ON TO YOUR FREEDOM
- AND MAKE THOSE NORTHERN STATES YOUR HOME
- WELL I LIVE HERE IN NEW YORK AND I AM DOING FINE,
- HAVE MYSELF A BALL ABOVE THE MASON-DIXIE LINE
- RIDE ON, RIDE ON RED, RIDE ON
- GONNA RIDE OFF TO MY FREEDOM
- AND MAKE THOSE NORTHERN STATES MY HOME
