Well, I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
But the tears I cried for that woman are gonna drown you, Big River
And I'ma gonna sit right here until I die
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl
Then I heard my dream went back downstream, cavortin' in Davenport
And I followed you, Big River, when you called
Ah, guitar
Billy Byrd
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river
A freighter said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone
But I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked off the bluff
She raised a few eyebrows and then went down alone
Oh, won't you batter me down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, rollin' on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough, I dumped my blues down in the gulf
'Cause she loves you, Big River, more than me
Well, I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
But the tears I cried for that woman are gonna drown you, Big River
And I'ma gonna sit right here until I die
