Tane aka 'Tane is a contraction of Poontang which refers to a woman's genitalia. This word is most famously recognized when Tom Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival used it in the lyric for "Proud Mary." The lyric makes more sense when he sings it. When Tina Turner sings it she is just repeating his original lyric.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'TANE down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
