Green River Blues Full Lyrics

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 Marion 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 Dog 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
