    What was particular about this song was we did walk the cross ties on the old B&M rail line along the Connecticut river, knew a person named Lucien Cody who did have a camp (and a mean ass dog) who lived on River Road and we fished in the Green River. But I’ll bet most people who lived along a major river probably had the same. These tunes were during my late teens and we all worried about the draft and Vietnam. What a waste of life as we now get much of our clothes from Vietnam. Never let a government fool you into war.

    Stopping at the log where catfish bite
    Walking along the river road at night
    Barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight
    I can hear the bullfrog calling me
    Wonder if my rope's
    Still hanging to the tree
    Love to kick my feet
    Way down the shallow water
    Shoe fly, dragon fly
    Get back to your mother
    Pick up a flat rock
    Skip it across Green River
    Well
    Up at Cody's camp
    I spent my days, oh
    With flat car riders
    And cross-tie walkers
    Old Cody Jr took me over
    Said, you're gonna find
    The world is smouldering
    And if you get lost
    Come on home to Green River
    Well

    This song is an entire vibe. When music becomes an emotional shuttle and transports you to another time and place, almost instantly, it's really good art. Nothing else can do that for you quite like music. The highs and lows one experiences while taking in the music is, in and of itself, a dopamine hit just like a really good drug. This is a timeless masterpiece that will be around far beyond anyone's lives today. If we haven't destroyed ourselves by then, I often ponder what people from the far off future will think about this music.

    Back in the early 90s me n my long time boyfriend, lived in Tennessee. Ccr was one of his favorite bands of all time.we were real young back then,but we'd herd that they were playing a free outdoors gig.we were so excited.we got all packed up ,a blanket to sit on,some beers our dogs of course, and hopped up into our d 3 on the tree ford pick up...well course with our luck back then the dam thing just would not start.we tried everything, all the tricks we knew about it,but still...no luck.Anyhow with great dissapointment, we ended up missing the show ,but did set up our own space out on our farm n listened to the local show on our old radio live instead. It of course wouldn't compare or be by any means the same as in actually being there,but it was the best we could do at the time.
    Chickens and there babies walking around us as we sat on that blanket in the grass and listened and dreamed we were there.No phone back then to try n get a ride from anyone,but it still was a day to remember. I still do.Hes passed on now 5 years actually, and ill always remember that day and what it meant..

    Yes, it's short, but it's still one of the greatest rock songs of all time

    Excellent video. I’m born and raised in Los Angeles in the 70’s and have always loved CCR. Especially this song. Your video is exactly what I’d see in my mind’s eyes as I’d mentally drift off and I’d listen to this great song.
    Damn, I felt like I was 12 years old for a couple minutes. Thank you!

    I can NEVER get enough of CCR and am learning to play it on guitar, as well as sing along. It brings back so many good memories of growing up in Texas; Pearland, Houston, etc. , the Gulf. All the swampy areas, memories of snakes the parents had killed on the back trails walking us to school, the day my older brother took me and my baby brother fishing. We were standing in the mud at the water's edge, holding our little fishing poles, tall grass and weeds so high in the swampy bush, when suddenly our 17 year old, 6'2" brothers starts shouting "Run kids. run!" I stared in awe, watching him run, his rod in one hand, as he fished for his knife in his pocket, an angry, huge, black cottonmouth hooked on his line. The image is imprinted in my mind; the snake was not only hooked, but so mad that it actually was swimming toward us. It was so black and so beautiful with its mouth wide open, white contrasted against its scaly, dark body, from the pages of National Geographic. It all happened so fast between the time he "caught" this majestic viper to the moment he cut the line...all as we ran, it seemed in slow motion. These are the memories this song in particular brings back to me. Now I live in Florida, on the Gulf, so pretty much the same still, ha ha!

    Although I'm mainly a fan of punk rock and heavy metal, I still love listening to this and other swamp rock songs when I'm camping in the Oklahoma countryside. Really relaxing song around a campfire.

    I love the up tempo, the drumming is perfect, and the guitar playing is the best too. What kind of chords are those that made them so popular? I am guessing blues chords. The whole band was amazing I remember them from when I was teenager at their peak.
