Big River
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman
Are gonna flood you, big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl
Then I heard my dream went back downstream
Cohorting in Davenport
And I followed you, Big River, when you called
Then you took me to St. Louis
Later on down the 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 bluff
She raised a few eyebrows
And went on down alone
Now won't you batter down by Baton Rouge
River Queen, rolling on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans
New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough
Left my blues down in the Gulf
She loves you, Big River, more than me
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman
Are gonna flood you, big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl
Then I heard my dream went back downstream
Cohorting in Davenport
And I followed you, Big River, when you called
Then you took me to St. Louis
Later on down the 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 bluff
She raised a few eyebrows
And went on down alone
Now won't you batter down by Baton Rouge
River Queen, rolling on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans
New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough
Left my blues down in the Gulf
She loves you, Big River, more than me
