Nice Job. Easy to read and play-along with. Thanks. -eric_steinmetz | 5/16/2003 | When you leave Louisiana from Texas, cross the Sabine River not the Red. (fix the first verse) -DeepEllumMatt | 8/14/2003 | sorry Deep...that's the writers words, not mine....nemO -cowboynemo | 8/15/2003 | when you leave louisana from Shreveport La you do cross the RED RIVER, and the songwriter does say RED RIVER. GREAT TAB -obobbanjo | 8/19/2005 | Yes you could cross either river but why jack with the lyrics even if he was wrong its how the writer wanted to write it goober! -J.Knowles | 12/16/2010 |
