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