Big river keep on flowing

big man keep on growing

Way down on mississippi big river

came a mighty big man

He built a town on that river

and owned everything in that glen

He fell in love and married a girl

she was young and mean and wild

He tried to tame her but it couldn't been done

She was too late to devil's own child

Big river keep on flowing

big man keep on growing

Big river keep on flowing

big man keep on growing

The love you have for greed

and power surely pull you down

You lose your friends you lose your soul

In that empire city to big man's town

Big river keep on flowing

big man keep on growing

Big river keep on flowing

big man keep on growing

Look down in the water all around you

hear the steamboat whistle blow

Come on big man get a moving

you got a long way to go

Just like a big river big man

you gotta move on and on

Take your money keep your dough

you're gonna be left all alone

Big river keep on flowing

big man keep on growing

Big river keep on flowing

big man keep on growing

The love you have for greed

and power surely pull you down

You lose your friends you lose your soul

In that empire city to big man's town

Big river keep on flowing

big man keep on growing

Big river keep on flowing

big man keep on growing

Big river keep on flowing
