I see a river rollin' like a log
|
I wade up Green River, rollin' like a log
|
I wade up Green River, Lord, rollin' like a log
|
|
Think I heard the Marion1 whistle blow
|
I dreamed I heard the Marion whistle blow,
|
and it blew just like my baby gettin' on board
|
|
I'm goin' where the Southern cross the Dog2
|
I'm goin' where the Southern cross the Dog
|
I'm goin' where the Southern cross the Dog
|
|
Some people say the Green River blues ain't bad
|
Some people say the Green River blues ain't bad
|
Then it must-a not been the Green River blues I had
|
|
It was late one night, everything was still
|
It was late one night, baby, everything was still
|
I could see my baby up on a lonesome hill
|
|
How long evenin' train been gone?
|
How long, baby, that evenin' train been gone?
|
You know I'm worried now but I won't be worried long
|
|
I'm goin' away, but may get lonesome here
|
I'm goin' away, baby, you may get lonesome here
|
Yes, I'm goin' away, baby, it may get lonesome here
|
