Lyrics

Hey I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I taught the clouds how to thunder up a clear blue sky
But the tears I cried for that woman gonna drown you big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Now I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl
I heard the dream went back downstream cavortin' in Davenport
And I'll follow you big river when you call
Now you took me to St. Louis later on down the river
And a trader said she's been here but she's gone, boy she's gone
I found the trail in Memphis but she's just walked off the bluff
Raised a few eyebrows and then went sailin' on
Now won't you carry me down to Baton Rouge, River Queen, rollin' on
Carry that woman all the way down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf
'Cause she loves you big river
I said she loves you big river
You know she loves you big river more than me
