Big River
Lyrics:
Now I taught the weeping willow how to 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
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 bluff
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
