v.1
Well, take me back down where cool water flows y'all
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

v.2
I can hear the bullfrogs callin' me
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' from the tree
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoo fly, dragonfly, git back to your mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River

Instr. Brk.

v.3
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, aw
With flatcar riders an' cross-tie walkers
Ol' Cody Junior took me over
Said "You're gonna find the world is smolderin'"
"If you get lost, come on home to Green River"
