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