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)
