| Lyrics: | 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 gonna flood you big river,
And I'm a gonna sit
right here until I die.
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota,
She tore me
up everything I heard her drawl, that southern drawl.
Well I heard my dream went back
downstream, cavortin' in Davenport,
And I follow you big river when you called.
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.
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 |
