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