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