Darrell Scott - Big River lyrics
[Darrell Scott - Big River lyrics]
Well I taught the weeping willow how to cry
And I told the clouds how to
Cover up a clear blue sky
All the tears that I cried for that
Woman they're 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 queen was
Back downstream cavortin' in Davenport
And I followed you, Big River
When you called
Then she 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 block
She raised a few eyebrows and
Went on down alone
Why 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
Hmm, she loves you, Big River, more than me
Oh well I taught the weeping
Willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I told the clouds how to
Cover up a clear blue sky
Hmm, the tears that I cried for that
Woman they're gonna flood you Big River
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
And I told the clouds how to
Cover up a clear blue sky
All the tears that I cried for that
Woman they're 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 queen was
Back downstream cavortin' in Davenport
And I followed you, Big River
When you called
Then she 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 block
She raised a few eyebrows and
Went on down alone
Why 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
Hmm, she loves you, Big River, more than me
Oh well I taught the weeping
Willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I told the clouds how to
Cover up a clear blue sky
Hmm, the tears that I cried for that
Woman they're gonna flood you Big River
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
