1. Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah,

                                                      ~

    let me remember things I love.

       

    Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite,

       C

    walkin' along the river road at night,

      A                                                         - E

    barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.

 

   E                                                    ~

2. 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.

         C

    Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t'your mother.

      A                                                             E

    pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River.

       E        ~ ~ - C - A

    Welllllll!

 

     E                                                             ~

3. Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh,

                                                                       ~

    with flat car riders and cross-tie walkers.

 

    Old Cody, Junior took me over,

       C

    Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin'.

           A                                                              E

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

        E    ….

    Well !  ……….
