I've Been Floating Down the Old Green River is a 1915 song with words by Bert Kalmar and music by Joe Cooper. The song is sung from the point of view of a husband who has to explain to his wife why he stayed out until 4:30 in the morning. He states that he has been floating down the old Green River on the good ship "Rock and Rye", where he got "stuck on a bar". The tag line in the lyric is: I had to drink the whole Green River dryTo get back home to you. The song is a play on words, as Green River was a popular brand of whiskey at the time.
