Please Don't Play Red River Valley

Well, I see you got yourself a brand new harmonica

Mail ordered from the Steagal's catalogue

Boy, I hope you can learn to play it like Lonnie Glossom

And while you added, you too oughta learn a verse or two

of Red River Valley, oh, my darling, Clementine or Salty Dog

Oh, but please don't play Red River Valley

And how about Polly Wolly doodle all day and see?

You know the only song I ever learned to play

On my 2 dollar and 98 cent harmonica

That I got from Wayne Raney in Clint Texas

C L I N T, Clint Texas was Red River Valley

Then she said farewell to my French harp and me

Well, I see you're doin' pretty good on your new harmonica

But don't you think you oughta learn about one more tune you know?

See you hold it like you's gonna eat a handful of popcorn

And sometime you suck in and sometimes you blow

But friend now please don't play Red River Valley

And how about Polly Wolly doodle all day?

Like I said the only song I ever learned

On my 2 dollar and 98 cent harmonica

That I got from Clint Texas from Wayne Raney in Clint Texas

Was Red River Valley

Oh, then she said farewell to my French harp and me
