Lyrics


1. Green River

Well, take me back down where cool water flow, y'all
Let me remember things I love, Lord
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite
Walkin' along the river road at night
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight

I can hear the bullfrog callin' me, aw
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree, aw
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoofly, dragonfly, get back to mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River
Well!

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, Lord
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
Old Cody Junior took me over
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smoulderin'
And if you get lost come on home to Green River."

Well!
Come on home


2. Commotion

Traffic in the city turns my head around
No, no, no, no, no
Backed up on the freeway
Backed up in the church
Everywhere you look there's a frown, frown

Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone

People keep a talking they don't say a word
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw
Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door
So much going on I just can't hear

Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone

Hurrying to get there so you save some time
Run, run, run, run, run
Rushing to the treadmill, rushing to get home
Worry 'bout the time you save, save

Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone


3. Bootleg

Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl
Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl

Take you a glass of water
Make it against the law
See how good the water tastes
When you can't have any at all

Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl
Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl

Finding a natural woman
Like honey to a bee
But you don't buzz the flower
When you know the honey's free

Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl
Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl

Suzy maybe give you some cherry pie
But Lord, that ain't no fun
Better you grab it when she ain't looking
Because you know you'd rather have it on the run

Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl
Bootleg, bootleg
Bootleg, howl


4. Good Golly Miss Molly

Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin'
Can't hear your momma call

From the early early mornin' 'til the early early night
You can see Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights

Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin'
Can't hear your momma call

Well, now momma, poppa told me, "Son, you better watch your step."
If I knew my momma, poppa, have to watch my pop myself

Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin'
Can't hear your momma call

We're going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring
Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen-carat golden thing?

Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin'
Can't hear your momma call

Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
Good golly, Miss Molly
Sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and a-rollin'
Can't hear your momma call
