Lyrics
When I was just a young boy not more than ten or eleven
That's a time in life when I had a lot of time on my hands
I'd spend those lazy crazy summer days
Just a-fooling around on the banks (on the banks) of Red River (of Red River)
Just a fooling around
Fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, fooling around

Climb up in a big oak tree with my old dog looking up at me
Kind of puzzled, he don't know just what to think
Sliding down the banks on the seat, man, I that was really neat
That's a time in life when I had a lot of time on my hands
Fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, fooling around
Just fool, fool, fool, fool, fool fooling around

Lying in the shade of the trees
Dreaming about what I wanted to be
Fishing with my ol' cane pole
The fun I had nobody knows
That time in life when I had a lot of time on my hands

Now, I'm all grown up
And now, my time is rushed
And now, those days have turned to dust
And now, I'd like to catch a bus

To the time in life when I had a lot of time on my hands
I'd spend those lazy crazy summer days
Just a fooling around on the banks of Red River (of Red River)
Just a-fooling around
Fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, fooling around
Just a-fooling around
Fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, fooling around

I'm just fooling around
Fool, fool, fooling around
I'm just fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, fooling around
Just fooling around
Fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, fooling around
I'm just fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, fooling around
I'm just fool, fool, fool, fool, fool, fooling around
