Big River

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
現在我教會了垂柳如何去哭
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
我還給雲朵展示了怎樣遮住碧藍晴空
the And tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you
我為那女人流的眼淚會使你氾濫
River.Big
大河啊

然後我要在這裡端坐不動至死方休
Then Im gonna sit right here until I die.
我無意中與她相見在聖保羅（明尼蘇達）

一聽到她拖著長音，我就撕心裂肺
I met her accidentally in St. Paul （Minnesota）.
南方的長音啊
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl,
我又發現我的夢想回來了
Southern drawl.
跳躍在下游的達文波特
Then I heard my dream was back
我要追隨你
Downstream cavortin in Davenport,
大河啊，當你召喚時
And I followed you,
然後你順著河流把我帶到了聖路易斯
Big River, when you called.
一個租船人說她來過這裡可她走了，孩子，她走了

我在孟菲斯尋覓到她的足跡，但她只走上了街逛了逛
Then you took me to St. Louis later on （down the river）.
她抬了抬眉毛又獨自啟程
A freighter said shes been here but shes gone, boy, shes gone.
現在，你難道最好不從巴吞魯日向下游去嗎？
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
河流女皇啊，搖擺下去吧
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
把那女人直帶到新奧爾良吧
Now, wont you batter down by Baton Rouge,
新奧爾良啊
River Queen, roll it on.
繼續吧，我受夠了
Take that woman on down to New Orleans,
她愛著你
New Orleans.
大河啊，勝過愛我
Go on, Ive had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf.
現在我教會了垂柳如何去哭，哭，哭
She loves you,
我還給雲朵展示了怎樣遮住碧藍晴空
Big River, more than me.
我為那女人流的眼淚會使你氾濫

大河啊
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
然後我要在這裡端坐不動至死方休
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
And thetears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you
Big River.
Then Im gonna sit right here until I die.
