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