I never thought I'd hear Peter Frampton, Gary Brooker(Procul Harem) and Albert Lee playing "Green River "
Loved the tone on Frampton's Les Paul

Kind of funny to actually see the lyrics to this song I have listened to thousands of times since the seventies. Some parts of it I had totally wrong

You're not the only one. Some weird lyrics in there music. I won't even begin to say what I thought they were singing in some of their songs.:laughingKind of funny to actually see the lyrics to this song I have listened to thousands of times since the seventies. Some parts of it I had totally wrong
Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things I love,
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.
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water.
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t'your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River.
Welllllll!
Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers.
Old Cody, Junior took me over,
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin'.
And if you get lost come on home to Green River."
Welllllll!
Come on home.

Interesting article from NPR about CCR on the 50th anniversary of several of their albums and their appearance at Woodstock. I always thought they were from the South, but they are from California. How else would they know about being stuck in Lodi again?

I cannot begin to count the number of times that has happened to me.
