Lyrics
0:09Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
0:14And I showed the clouds
0:15How to cover up a clear blue sky
0:18The And tears that I cried for
0:20That woman are gonna flood you
0:22River Big
0:23Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
0:28I met her accidentally in St Paul (Minnesota)
0:32And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl
0:35Southern drawl
0:37Then I heard my dream was back
0:39Downstream cavortin' in Davenport
0:42And I followed you
0:43Big River when you called
1:00Then you took me to St Louis later on
1:04(down the river)
1:05A freighter said she's been here but she's gone
1:08Boy she's gone
1:10I found her trail in Memphis
1:12But she just walked up the block
1:14She raised a few eyebrows
1:16And then she went on down alone
1:19Now won't you batter down by Baton Rouge
1:21River Queen roll it on
1:24Take that woman on down to New Orleans
1:27New Orleans
1:29Go on I've had enough;
1:31Dump my blues down in the gulf
1:33She loves you
1:34Big River more than me
1:52Now I taught the weeping willow
1:54How to cry cry cry
1:57And I showed the clouds
1:58How to cover up a clear blue sky
2:01And the tears that I cried for
2:03That woman are gonna flood you
2:05Big River
2:06Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds How to cover up a clear blue sky The And tears that I cried for That woman are gonna flood you River Big Then 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 was back Downstream cavortin' 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 block She raised a few eyebrows And then she went on down alone Now won't you batter down by Baton Rouge River Queen roll it on Take that woman on down to New Orleans New Orleans Go on I've had enough; Dump my blues down in the gulf She loves you Big River more than me Now I taught the weeping willow How to cry cry cry And I showed the clouds How to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for That woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
