Big River

歌詞

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 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. 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 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. 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. 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.
