[Hank Williams Jr. - Big River lyrics]
Well I taught the weeping willow how to cry
And I showed the clouds how to
Cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman
Are gonna flood you Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Oh I met her accidentaly in St Paul Minnesota
And it tore me up every 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 block
She raised a few eyebrows and
Went on down alone
Now won't you batter down by Boton
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
Oh she loves you Big River more than me
Yeah I taught the weeping willow
How to cry cry cry
And I showed the clouds how to
Cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman
Are gonna flood you Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
And I showed the clouds how to
Cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman
Are gonna flood you Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Oh I met her accidentaly in St Paul Minnesota
And it tore me up every 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 block
She raised a few eyebrows and
Went on down alone
Now won't you batter down by Boton
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
Oh she loves you Big River more than me
Yeah I taught the weeping willow
How to cry cry cry
And I showed the clouds how to
Cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman
Are gonna flood you Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
