Lyrics

[00:04.30]
[00:07.36] Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
[00:13.03] And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
[00:18.34] the And tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you
[00:22.47] River.Big
[00:22.85]
[00:23.77] Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
[00:27.88]
[00:28.94] I met her accidentally in St. Paul （Minnesota）.
[00:34.12] And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl,
[00:37.68] Southern drawl.
[00:39.42] Then I heard my dream was back
[00:41.42] Downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
[00:44.79] And I followed you,
[00:46.10] Big River, when you called.
[00:48.63]
[01:05.16] Then you took me to St. Louis later on （down the river）.
[01:11.21] A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
[01:16.22] I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
[01:21.16] She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
[01:26.27] Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge,
[01:29.39] River Queen, roll it on.
[01:32.51] Take that woman on down to New Orleans,
[01:35.01] New Orleans.
[01:37.38] Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf.
[01:42.43] She loves you,
[01:44.18] Big River, more than me.
[01:46.14]
[02:03.31] Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
[02:08.86] And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
[02:14.23] And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you
[02:18.31] Big River.
[02:19.63] Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
