Well, take me back down where cool walks go, y'all
Let me remember things I done
Stop and let the lonely catfish by
And walkin' along the river road at night
Barefoot girl
Damn, she make my motor ride

Woman and my rope's still hangin' to the tree
Love to take my feet way down to shallow water
Soup fly - bag 'em - I give 'em back to mother
Give her the best of, givin' old Green River
...
Lovin' Poultice Pam I spent my days, Lord
Black hole ridin' and coal tar walls
Old Flo' Petunia took me over
Said, "You gonna find the well bin' ponger
And if you get it a lot, come on home to Green River"
Original Lyrics:
Well, take me back down where cool water flows, y'all
Let me remember things I love
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite
Walkin' along the river road at night
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight
...
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to your mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River
...
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 smoldering
And if you get lost, come on home to Green River"
