Well I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Well I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard that drawl, that southern drawl
And I heard my green one's back down stream courtin' in Davenport
And I followed you, Big River, when you called
Well 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
Well I found her trail in Memphis, she just walked on up the block
She raised a few eyebrows when she went on down alone
Now don't you batter down Baton Rouge, River Queen, rollin' on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough, throw my blues down in the Gulf
She loves you, Big River, more than me
Yeah, I pulled into Natchez yesterday down the river
You know there's not very much to make a rounder stay very long
When I left it was rainin' so nobody saw me cryin'
Big River, why's he treatin' me this way?
Well I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Yeah, I'm gonna sit right here until I die
