[Chorus 1:]
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.

[Verse 1:]
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.

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2:]
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.

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 3:]
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.

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]
