Big River

Well i taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry,

Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.

Tears i cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river,

And i'm a gonna sit right here until i die.



I met her accidentally in st. paul, minnesota,

She tore me up everything i heard her drawl, that southern drawl.

Well i heard my dream went back downstream, cavortin' in davenport,

And i follow you big river when you called.



Well i followed her down to st. louie, later on down the river,

Trader said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone.

Well i followed her down to memphis, but she just walked off the bus,

She raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone.



Well i've gotten on down to baton rouge, river queen roll on,

Take that woman down to new orleans, new orleans.

I give up, i've had enough, followed my blues on down to the gulf,

She loves you big river more than me.
