Lyrics
Green River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My father’s father’s on the front porch rockin’
A friend drops by; two old men talkin’
Remembering so many other summer days
Grandma’s in the kitchen cookin’
Hound-dog’s on the back porch lookin’
The rooster crows the same time every day
Green River you’re still my home
I miss you
Green River why did I roam
I miss you
Sun sets slow on bluegrass meadows
Lamps are lit and casting shadows
We say goodbye to another perfect day
Green River you’re still my home
Green River why did I roam
Green River some day I’ll come home
To stay
Green River you’re still my home
Green River why did I roam
Green River some day I’ll come home
To stay
Aaaaaaahhhhhh
Aaaaaaahhhhhh
Aaaaaaahhhhhh
Aaaaaaahhhhhh
Aaaaaaahhhhhh
