In the song Green River , is the song referring to

In the song Green River , is the song referring to the green river that runs thru kentucky?

From what I've read in previous John Fogerty interviews posted on-line, The song "Green River" was actually written about a place north of the Bay Area, in Napa County, called Putah Creek. I believe the Fogerty family spent memorable time there while John and his brother Tom were growing up and that is what inspired the song.

I belive it was about his uncle who yelled at his feet calling them green river, He was an intersting and influental man who fought in the battle of swamp tuesday and had 8 children. He was the jimmy hoffa of the wheat farming union

Green River is a lime slurpy. John Loves them.

green river a slurpy drink, he said it at a concert i seen him at

I heard an interview with him on the radio and he said it was a vacation spot he and his family went to when he was little. "Ol' Cody Jr." was the owner of the camp and they called him that because he was supposedly a descendant of Buffalo Bill Cody. I'm sure it is a drink but the song's name came from the camp's name.
