NOW I TAUGHT
THE WEEPIN' WILLOW
HOW TO CRY
AND I SHOWED
THE CLOUDS
HOW TO COVER
UP A CLEAR BLUE SKY
AND THE TEARS THAT
I CRIED FOR
THAT WOMAN
ARE GONNA FLOOD YOU
BIG RIVER
AND I'M 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
AW GUITAR GET GOIN'
THEN YOU TOOK ME TO
ST. LOUIE LATER ON
DOWN THE RIVER
A FREIGHTER SAID
SHE'S BEEN HERE
BUT SHE'S GONE
BOY SHE'S GONE
I FOUND HER TRAIL
IN MEMPHIS
BUT SHE JUST WALKED
UP THE BLUFF
SHE RAISED
A FEW EYEBROWS AND
THEN SHE WENT ON
DOWN ALONE
NOW WON'T YOU
BAT 'ER DOWN BY
BATON ROUGE
RIVER QUEEN ROLLIN' ON
TAKE THAT WOMAN
ON DOWN TO
NEW ORLEANS
NEW ORLEANS
GO ON I'VE HAD ENOUGH
DUMP MY BLUES
DOWN IN THE GULF
SHE LOVES YOU
BIG RIVER
MORE THAN ME
AW YEAH Y'ALL PLAY ON
NOW I TAUGHT
THE WEEPIN' WILLOW
HOW TO CRY CRY CRY
AND I SHOWED
THE CLOUDS
HOW TO COVER
UP A CLEAR BLUE SKY
AND THE TEARS THAT
I CRIED FOR
THAT WOMAN
ARE GONNA FLOOD YOU
BIG RIVER
AND I'M GONNA
SIT RIGHT HERE
UNTIL I DIE
