Rosanne Cash - Big River lyrics

[Rosanne Cash - 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 that I cried for
That man gonna flood you, big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die

Well, I met him accidentally in St paul
Minnesota and it tore me up every
Time I heard him 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
And a freighter said he's been
Here but he's gone, boys, he's gone
I found his trail in Memphis


But he just walked up the bluff
He raised a few eyebrows and
Went on down alone

So won't you batter down by
Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on
Take that man on down to New Orleans
New Orleans go on, I've had enough
Dump my blues down in the Gulf
He loves you, big river, more than me

Well 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 man gonna flood you, big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
