Johnny Mercer - I've Been Floatin' Down The Old Green River Lyrics

Johnny Mercer Lyrics

"I've Been Floatin' Down The Old Green River"

I've been floating down the old green river
On the good ship Rockin Rye'?
But I floated too far, I got stuck on a bar
I was out there alone, wishin' 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 a drink the whole green river dry
To get back home to you

I've been floating down the old green river
On the good ship Rockin Rye'?
But I floated too far, I got stuck on a bar
I was tied to the mast while the - went past
The ship got wrecked with the captain and crew
And there was only one thing left to do
Man I had a drink the whole green river dry
To get back home to you

I've been floating down the old green river
On the good ship Rockin Rye'?
But I floated too far, I got stuck on a bar
I was out there alone, wishin' 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 a drink that whole green river dry
To get back home to you
