Green River - Mary Wilson

Well take me back home where cool waters flow, y’all

And let me remember things I love, oh

Like stopping at the log where catfish bite

Walking along the river road at night

Barefoot girls, we were dancing by the moonlight

Yeah!

Now I can hear the bullfrogs calling me, ow!

I’m wonderin' if my rope is still hanging from the tree, y’all

I used to love to kick my feet way down in shallow water

Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to your mother

Pick up a flat rock, skim it across the green river

(Well)

(Well)

Woo!

Yeah!

Hey y’all, up at Cody’s camp I used to spend all my days

With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers

Now Old Cody Junior, he took me over, y’all

Said, «You're gonna find that the world is smolderin'

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

Hoo!

Ow!

(Well)

(Well) Well
