NOW, I THOUGHT THE WEEPING WILLOW HOW TO CRY,
AND I SHOWED THE CLOUDS HOW TO COVERUP A CLEAR BLUE SKY.
AND THE TEARS THAT I CRIED FOR THAT WOMANARE GONNA FLOOD YOU, BIG RIVER.
THEN I`M GONNA SIT RIGHT HERE UNTIL I DIE.
I MET HER ACCIDENTALLY IN ST. PAUL - MINESOTA.
AND IT TORE ME UP EV`RY TIME I HEARED HER DRAWL,
SOUTHERN DRAWL.
THEN I HEARED MY DREAM WAS BACK DONSTREAMCAVORTIN` IN DAVENPORT,
AND I FOLLOWED YOU, BIG RIVER, WHEN YOU CALLED.
THEN YOU TOOK ME TO ST. LOUIS LATER ON - DOWN RIVER.
A FREIGHTER SAID SHE`S BEEN HERE BUT SHE`S GONE,
BOY, SHE`S GONE.
I FOUND HER TRAIL IN MEMPHIS,
BUT SHE JUST WALKED UP THE BLOCK.
SHE RAISED A FEW EYEBROWS AND THENSHE WENT ON DOWN ALONE.
NOW, WON`T YOU YOU BETTER DOWN BY BATON ROUGE,
RIVER QUEEN, ROLL IT ON.
TAKE THE WOMAN DOWN TO NEW ORLEANS, NEW ORLEANS.
GO ON, I`VE HAD ENOUGH;DUMP MY BLURS DOWN IN THE GULF.
SHE LOVES YOU, BIG RIVER, MORE THAN ME.
NOW, I THOUGHT THE WEEPING WILLOW HOW TO CRY,
AND I SHOWED THE CLOUDS HOW TO COVERUP A CLEAR BLUE SKY.
AND THE TEARS THAT I CRIED FOR THAT WOMANARE GONNA FLOOD YOU, BIG RIVER.
THEN I`M GONNA SIT RIGHT HERE UNTIL I DIE.
More Big River
