Big River

[Chorus]
Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
Tears I cried for that woman are going to flood you, big river
And I'm going to sit right here until I die

[Verse 1]
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
She tore me up every time I heard her drawl, that Southern drawl
Well I heard my dream went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport
And I follow you big river when you called

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Well I followed her down to St. Louie, later on down the river
Trader said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone
Well I followed her down to Memphis
But she just walked off the bus
She raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Well I've gotten on down to Baton Rouge, River Queen roll on
Take that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans
I give up, I've had enough
Followed my blues on down to the gulf
She loves you big river more than me

[Chorus]

[Outro]
And I'm going to sit right here until I die[x3]
