Pirogue

Pirogue gonna take me home tonight
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight
So winding river, wind to the life I left behind
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight.
The war is over and mama and the baby's all right
The war is over and mama and the baby's all right
Soon I'll rest my aching feet, kiss my woman's lips so sweet
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight.
The yellow pirogue's no longer there
But war will come again wait and see
And even if I had to return
This land forever will be free.
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight
So winding river, wind to the life I left behind
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight.
The war is over and mama and the baby's all right
The war is over and mama and the baby's all right
Soon I'll rest my aching feet, kiss my woman's lips so sweet
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight.
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight...
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight
So winding river, wind to the life I left behind
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight.
The war is over and mama and the baby's all right
The war is over and mama and the baby's all right
Soon I'll rest my aching feet, kiss my woman's lips so sweet
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight.
The yellow pirogue's no longer there
But war will come again wait and see
And even if I had to return
This land forever will be free.
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight
So winding river, wind to the life I left behind
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight.
The war is over and mama and the baby's all right
The war is over and mama and the baby's all right
Soon I'll rest my aching feet, kiss my woman's lips so sweet
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight.
Pirogue gonna take me home tonight...
