Big River

歌詞

Well I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky But the tears I cried for that woman they're gonna flood deep Big River I'm gonna sit right here until I die Well, I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl But I heard my dream was back downstream cavortin' in Davenport And I followed you, Big River, when you called Then you take me to St. Louis later on down the river One traitor said she's been here But she's gone, boy, she's gone And I found her trail in Memphis Where she just walked up the bluff She raised a few eyebrows, she went on down alone Won't you batten down in Baton Rouge River Queen, roll it on Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans Come on, I've had enough Just to roll my blues out in the gulf She loves you, Big River, more than me Well I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry And I taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky But the tears I cried for that woman they're gonna flood deep Big River. I'm gonna sit right here until I die
