Well, take me back down where cool water flows on
Let me remember things I love y'all
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite
Walkin' along the river road at night
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight

I can hear the bullfrogs callin' me
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree
Love to kick my feet way down in shallow water
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back to mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across the Green River

Green River
Green River

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days
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."

I can hear the bullfrogs callin' me
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree

Shoefly, dragonfly, get back to mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across the Green River
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite
Walkin' along the river road at night
If you get lost come on home to Green River

Green River
