I remember campin' all night
down by the river's edge
Skinny -dippin' by the bright moonlight,
divin' off the ledge
Skippin' rocks across the water,
fishin' on an old trout line
Kickin' frogs till the early mornin'
Smokin' the dry crossfire
Send me back home where the
Red
River rolls
Send me back to
Louisiana
Take me back down where
the white water flows
To the
Cajun promised land
Give me my line, my old hero
Get me down as quick as you can
Send me back home where the
Red
River run s
Won't you send me back home where the
Red
River rolls
Riding down the rapids,
in a pipe stuffed in a tube
Eating supper on the ground,
made of fish an d catfish stew
Stayed awake all night,
just to hear that wildcat scream
Tellin' tales by the campfire,
about the girls and our dreams
Won't you send me back home
where the red river rolls
Send me back to
Louisiana
Take me back down where
the white water flows
To the
Cajun promised land
Give me my life and more heroes
Get me there as quick as you can
Send me back home where
the red river rolls
Won't you send me back home with a
Red
River
Road
Send me back home with a
Red
River
Road
Won't you send me back home
where the red river rolls?
Send me back home,
send me back home
Send me back home, back to
Louisiana
Send me back home, send me back home
Get me now as quick as you can
Send me back home where
the red river rolls
Brother, won't you send me back home
where the red river rolls?
Send me back home where the red river rolls,
send me back to bluesy end
Take me back down where the white mornin' rolls,
to the cave in promised land
Give me my life, I'm gonna be a hero,
and get me down as quick as you can
Send me back home where
the red river rolls
You
