Old River Ran Red
Old River ran red before the days of the Civil War
At the command of Forrest, sounds of firecrackers
were heard in the air
Attack! Attack!
Bang, Bang, Bang
White flags held high
As brave soldiers died
Falling to the ground
Near the bluff at Fort Pillow
Old River ran red
Still much to be said
In ages to come
Never to be forgotten
Of all those great souls lost in
Old River ran red
At the command of Forrest, sounds of firecrackers
were heard in the air
Attack! Attack!
Bang, Bang, Bang
White flags held high
As brave soldiers died
Falling to the ground
Near the bluff at Fort Pillow
Old River ran red
Still much to be said
In ages to come
Never to be forgotten
Of all those great souls lost in
Old River ran red
