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 that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I`m gonna sit right here until I die
I met her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnesota) And it tore me up ev`ry 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 bluff She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone
Well I pulled into Naches next day down the river But there wasn`t that much to make to stay very long But when I left it was rainin` so nobody saw me cry Big River why you doin` me this way
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
