Green River

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

A-let me remember things I love, Lord

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 home

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

Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water

Shoo, fly, dragonfly, get back, you mother

Pick up a flat rock; skip it across Green River

Well!

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

With flat-car riders and cross-tie walkers

Old Cody Junior took me over

Said, "You're gonna find the world be smolderin'

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

Well!

Come on home
