Intro
G#m
[Verse 1]
G#m D#m
I remember campin' all night down by the river's edge,
C# Cb G#m
skinny dippin' in the bright moonlight, divin' off a ledge,
D#m C#
skippin' rocks across the water, fishin' on an old trout line,
Cb A#m G#m
gigging frogs 'till the early mornin', smokin' dried cross vine.
[Chorus]
C# G#m
Take me back home where the Red River rolls, send me back to Louisianne.
C# G#m
Take me back home where the white water flows, to the Cajun promised land.
C# G#m
Give me my line and my old pi rogue. Get me back as fast you can.
Fb D# G#m
Take me back home where the Red River rolls.
Fb F# G#m
Take me back home where the Red River rolls.
[Verse 2]
G#m D#m
Floatin' down the river on a patched up inner tube,
C# Cb G#m
eatin' dinner on the ground, made of fresh caught catfish stew.
D#m C#
Lay awake at night when I hear a wildcat scream,
Cb A#m G#m
tellin' tales around the campfire light about the girls in our dreams.
(Repeat Chorus x 2 and fade)
