Big River Lyrics - Artist : Infamous Stringdusters, The
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
I taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman are 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 drawl, Southern drawl Then I heard my dream went back downstream cavortin' in Davenport And I followed you, Big River, when you called Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry I taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River And I'm gonna sit right here until I die 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 Raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone Well I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry I taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River And I'm gonna sit right here until I die 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 Yeah I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry I taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River And I'm gonna sit right here until I die Well I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry I taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman are 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 |
