Green River

Well, take me back down where cool water flows, y'all

Let me remember things I love, ah

Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite

Walkin' along the river road at night

Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight

I can hear the bullfrog callin' me, oh

Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree

Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water

Shoo fly, dragonfly, get back t'mother

Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River

Well

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh

With flat-car riders and cross-tie walkers

Old Cody Junior took me over

Said, "You're gonna find the world is smold'rin'

And if you get lost, come on home to Green River"

Well

Come on home
