[Verse 1]

Well, take me back down where cool water flow, y'all

Let me remember things I love, Lord

Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite

Walkin' along the river road at night

Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight

[Verse 2]

I can hear the bullfrog callin' me, aw

Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree, aw

Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water

Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to mother

Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River

Well

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, Lord

With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers

Old Cody Junior took me over

Said, "You're gonna find the world is smolderin'

And if you get lost, come on home to Green River"

Well

Come on home
