Big River
  ---------
    Well, I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry,
  taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
  Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river,
  and I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.
    I met her accidentally in Saint Paul, Minnesota,
  tore me up everytime I heard her drawl, that southern drawl.
  I heard my dream went back downstream, cavortin' in Davenport,
  and I follow you big river where you go.
    Well, I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry,
  taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
  Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river,
  and I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.
    Well, I follow her down to Saint Louie, later on down the river,
  a freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's
  gone.
  Well I follow her down to Memphis, but she just walked off the
  bluff,
  she raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone.
    Well, I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry,
  taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
  Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river,
  and I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.
    Well, I'm bound on down to Baton Rouge, River Queen roll on,
  Take that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans.
  I give up, I've had enough, forget my blues on down to the gulf,
  she loves you big river more than me.
