Lyrics

Well, take me back down where cool water flows, y'all
Let me remember things I don't know
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite
Walkin' along the river road at night
Barefoot girl dancin' in the moonlight

I can hear the bullfrog callin' me, how?
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back to mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across green river
Welllllll!

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 smould'rin'
And if you get lost come on home to green river."

Welllllll!
Come on home
