Big River |
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 ev’ry 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 |
