Lyrics
Well, I taught the weeping willow how to cry
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
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
Heard the dream, went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport
And I followed you, big river, when you called
You took me to St
Louis later on down the river
Trader said, "She's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone."
And I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block
Raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone
Now, won't you paddle down to Baton Rouge, River Queen?
Roll it on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans
New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough
Dump my blues down in a cup
She loves you, big river, more than me
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
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Whoo
Chris
