Up Green River, rollin' like a log

I went up Green River, rollin' like a log

I went up Green River, rollin' like...

Like a log

 

Well, I thought I heard that Marion whistle blow

Thought I heard that Marion whistle blow

And it blow'd just like my baby

When he's gettin on' board

 

People, I'm goin' where the Southern cross the Dog

Goin' where the Southern cross the dog

And when I get to that river

You know that I'll be rollin'...

Just like a log...yes, I will now

 

It was late one evening, everything was still (so still)

Late one Friday evenin' - and everything was still

I could swear I saw my baby

People way up on that lonesome hill

Oh, Lord...

 

People, I'm goin' away now, goin' away to stay

Goin' away, baby - goin' away to stay

But you just keep there in the back of your mind, sugar

Well, I know that your trouble surely gonna come someday

Oh, Lord...

Your trouble gonna come someday
