Mary Wilson – Green River Lyrics
Artist: Mary Wilson
Song: 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
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
Old Cody Junior took me over
Said, “You’re gonna find that the world is smolderin’
And if you get lost girl, come on over to Green River”
Woo!
Dang dang dang, dang dang dang
Dang dang dang, dang dang dang, ow! Hoo!
Oh yeah, Cody’s gonna give us sumn real good, y’all
Come on down let’s get some fried fish
Oh, yes the girls are gonna be there dancing in the moonlight, you know what I mean, hoo!
Dang dang dang, dang dang dang
Let’s kick our shoes off, y’all, and go down by the river there, haha yeah
Ooh, ha ha ha ha ha ha
Play that funky bass, boy, yes indeed
I’m gonna go back to Green River, yeah yeah
Yeah
Ow!
Ah, take me back home, y’all!
Well, well, yeah, yeah
