Big River
I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry I taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky Tears I cried for that woman, they're gonna flood you, big river I'm gonna lay right here until I die
Well, I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota Tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl Heard my Queen, went back downstream towards ol' Davenport Well, I followed you, big river, when you called
I followed you to St. Louis later on River Queen Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone I caught her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block She raised her two eyebrows and she walked on down alone
Whoa, batten on down Baton Rouge, River Queen Take that woman on down to Orleans, New Orleans I'm gone, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf She loves you, big river, more than me Oh, she loves you, big river, more than me
