Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remenber the things I don`t know,
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.
Wonder if my rope`s still hanging 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`ring.
And if you get lost come on home to Green River.
Welllllll!
Come on home.
