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."
