Lyrics
Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky Tears I cried for that woman are going to flood you, big river And I'm going to sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota She tore me up every time I heard her drawl, that Southern drawl Well I heard my dream went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport And I follow you big river when you called Well I followed her down to St. Louie, later on down the river Trader said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone Well I followed her down to Memphis But she just walked off the bus She raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone Well I've gotten on down to Baton Rouge, River Queen roll on Take that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans I give up, I've had enough Followed my blues on down to the gulf She loves you big river more than me
