Creedence Clearwater Revival
"Green River" lyrics

Green River

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
Away down the shallow water
Shoefly, dragonfly
Get back to your mother
Pick up a flat rock
Skip it across Green River
Well

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 smouldering
And if you get lost
Come on home to Green River"

Well
Come on home
