Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah
Let me remember things I love
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
