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
