Lyrics

I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
The tears I cried for that woman they're gonna flood you Big River
And I'm gonna lay right here until I die
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
It tore me up every time I heard that drawl, Southern drawl
I heard McQueen was back downstream
On towards Davenport
I followed you Big River when you called
I followed you to St. Louis later on down the river
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy she's gone
I caught her trail in Memphis
But she just walked down the block
Raised a few eyebrows then she went on down alone
Won't you back down to Baton Rouge, McQueen, roll it on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough, left my blues down in the dust
She loves you Big River more than me
I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
The tears I cried for that woman they're gonna flood you Big River
And I'm gonna lay right here until I die
I'm gonna lay right here until I die
Well I'm gonna lay right here until I die
