big river

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
The And tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you
Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
I met her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnesota)
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl
Southern drawl
Then I heard my dream was back
Downstream cavortin' in Davenport
And I followed you
Big River when you called
Then you took me to St Louis later on (down the river)
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone boy she's gone
I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone
Now won't you batter down by Baton Rouge
River Queen roll it on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans
New Orleans
Go on I've had enough dump my blues down in the gulf
She loves you
Big River more than me
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry cry cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you
Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
