Lyrics
Chorus:
I’ve been floating down the old green river
On the good ship Rock and Rye
But I floated too far, I got stuck on a bar
I was out there alone, wishing that I was home
The ship got wrecked with the captain and crew
And there was only one thing left to do
So I had to drink the whole green river dry
To get back home to you
Chorus:
I’ve been floating down the old green river
On the good ship Rock and Rye
But I floated too far, I got stuck on a bar
I was tied to the mast while the schooners went past
The ship got wrecked with the captain and crew
And there was only one thing left to do
So I had to drink the whole green river dry
To get back home to you
