Red River, keep on rolling down

It's been a long time since I let my hair hang down

I'll take my time before I go under the ground

Oh dandelion, tell me what you're thinking now

Shape I'm in, I better get back home soon

I got one eye on the road and one eye on the big black moon

Dandelion, won't you tell me what to do

Ironsides rusting in the railroad rain

Now I found out what the Captain of the Morning was saying

Dandelion, better hope your mother's praying

Dumb luck is the only luck I ever knew

I'd make a wish but I don't think it'd ever come true

Dandelion, I guess I'll leave it up to you

Belle Starr, she doesn't have any shoes

She walks crooked and paints her eyelids blue

Dandelion, I wanna go there too
