Collin Raye - Big River Lyrics
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cryIve shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue skyAnd the tears Ive cried over that womanWell theyre gonna flood you big riverAnd Im gonna sit right here until I dieWell I met her accidentally in st. paul, minnesotaAnd it tore me up every time I heard her draw that southern drawThen I heard my dream was back downstream in davenportNow I followed you big river when you calledThen you took me to st. louis later on down the riverFreighter said youd been here but shes gone said boy shes goneWell I found her trail in memphis but she just walked up the blockShe raised a few eyebrows then she moved on down the ?Yes she didNow I went back down to baton rouge my little queen rollin onTake that woman on down to new orleans, new orleansGo on Ive had enough dumped my blues down in the gulfShe loves you big river more than meWhen I pulled into nachez yesterday down the riverYou know theres not much there to make you stay very longWhen I left it was raining so nobody saw me cryingBig river whys she treating me this wayNow I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cryIve shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue skyAnd the tears Ive cried over that womanWell theyre gonna flood you big riverAnd Im gonna sit right here until I dieYeah Im gonna sit right here until I die
