I'm goin' back to cane river, down lou'siana way
I'm goin' back to cane river, down lou'siana way
Back to cane river, that's where i'm gonna stay
I've got a creole beauty, cute as she can be
She gives me plenty lovin', ev'rything belong to me
I'm goin' back to cane river, down lou'siana way
Back to cane river, that' where i'm gonna stay
She's got chicken in the yard, hogs in the pen
Cows in the pasture, an' corn in the bin
I'm goin' back to cane river, down lou'siana way
Back to cane river, that's where i'm gonna stay
