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