Oh, Red Cedar River
Don't freeze under me this winter
Stay flowing slow like honey
Golden in the sun
Oh, Red Cedar River
I'm but a gray old sinner
Wash me clean in your waters
Sweet on the tongue
Let me breathe your birch tree breeze
From Devil's Lake to Siren Creek
Ferry, Lord, my soul to thee
Part your waves and swallow me
Oh, Red Cedar River
Old friend, old respite giver
Carry me on amber arms
To glory
