Big River - Rosanne Cash

作词：J.R. Cash

作曲：J.R. 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 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

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 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
