Big River lyrics

Now i taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
I`ve shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears i`ve cried over that woman
Well they`re gonna flood you big river
And 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 draw that southern draw
Then i heard my dream was back downstream in davenport
Now i followed you big river when you called

Then you took me to st. louis later on down the river
Freighter said you`d been here but she`s gone said boy she`s gone
Well i found her trail in memphis but she just walked up the block
She raised a few eyebrows then she moved on down the ?
Yes she did

Now i went back down to baton rouge my little queen rollin` on
Take that woman on down to new orleans, new orleans
Go on i`ve had enough dumped my blues down in the gulf
She loves you big river more than me

When i pulled into nachez yesterday down the river
You know there`s not much there to make you stay very long
When i left it was raining so nobody saw me crying
Big river why`s she treating me this way

Now i taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
I`ve shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears i`ve cried over that woman
Well they`re gonna flood you big river
And i`m gonna sit right here until i die

Yeah i`m gonna sit right here until i die
