I'VE BEEN FLOATING DOWN THE OLD GREEN RIVER
(Bert Kalmer & Joe Cooper)

Half past four, Dan McGraw, came sneak-ing to his wifey's door
She'd been wait-ing up all night,
Waiting for him to go to bed
Danny smiled, like a child, but his wifey grew very wild
"Where have you been all night long?," She cried
And this is what Danny replied:

cho: 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.

(Words By Bert Kalmer - Music By Joe Cooper)
1914
