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, theyre gonna flood you, big river Hey, I'ma gonna sit right here until I die Well, I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota Tore me up every time I heard her drawl, that Southern drawl Well, I heard my dream went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport So I followed you big river when you called 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 gonna flood you, big river Hey, I'm gonna sit right here until I die So, I followed her down to St. Louie, and later on down the river Trader said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone Then I followed her down to Memphis But she just walked off the bus Raised a few eyebrows when she went on down alone 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, theyre gonna flood you, big river And I'ma gonna sit right here until I die 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, 'cause I've had enough Followed my blues on down to the gulf She loves you big river more than me 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, theyre gonna flood you, big river Hey, I'ma gonna sit right here until I die 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, theyre gonna flood you, big river Hey, I'ma gonna sit right here until I die And I'ma gonna sit right here until I die I'ma gonna sit right here until I die
