Lyrics Green River - Mary Wilson

Green River

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
