Big River
(专辑: Memphis Sun Recordings - 1991)
Now 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 woman are gonna flood you Big River. Then I'm gonna sit right here until I
die. 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 dream was back Downstream cavorting 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 then she went on down alone. Now, 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. She loves you, Big River, more than me. Now 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 woman are gonna flood you Big River. Then I'm gonna sit right here until I
die.
