LYRICFLUENTBig River Lyrics by Johnny Cash
Below, you will find the lyrics for Big River by Johnny Cash.
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
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
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 bluff
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone
Now, won't you paddle down by Baton Rouge
River Queen, rollin' 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,cry,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
