Take me back to the Green River

Let my troubles roll on down

Take me when the leaves are falling

That's when my baby's love was still around



My memories take me to the Green River

How plain was the picture in my mind

Autumn leaves were paint in the water

Love was shining in your eyes



How I long for us to return

To the love we had back then

Darling, I'll be waiting a lifetime

For you to take me back again



How I miss the sound of the water

Gently flowing past the trees

How I miss your tender kisses

The way you once loved me
