作曲：Johnny Cash

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry cry cry

And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky

The And tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you

River Big

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 cavortin' 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
