Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah. |
|
Let me remember things I love, |
|
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. |
|
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree. |
|
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water. |
|
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t'your mother. |
|
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River. |
|
Welllllll! |
|
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 smould'rin'. |
|
And if you get lost come on home to Green River." |
|
Welllllll! |
|
Come on home. |
