Green River Songtext

von Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings

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
Shoe-fly, dragonfly, get back to your mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across the Green River

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

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
Shoe-fly, dragonfly, get back to your 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
And if you get lost, come on home to Green River
