[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.
