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