Live At Rockpalast

Well I left my home in Vicksburg and startet travelling 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 into Shreveport, where we were supposed to eat 
I got myself a sandwich and ate it on the street 
Ride on, Louisianna 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-Dixon line 
Ride on, ride on Red, ride on 
Gonna ride on to my freedom 
And make those Northern States my home.
