Green River

Well, take me back down where cool water flows, y'all
A-let me remember things I love, Lord
Stopping at the log where catfish bite
Walking along the river road at night
Barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight

I can hear the bullfrog calling me home
Wonder if my rope's still hanging 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 smoldering
And if you get a-lost, come on home to Green River"
Well!

Come on home
