Luke Wooten - Big River Lyrics



Luke Wooten - Big River Lyrics





I taught the weeping 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 Saint Paul Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl southern drawl
Then I heard my dream went back downstream cavorting in Davenport
And I followed you big river when you called

She took me to Saint Louis later on down the river
A freighter said She's been here but she's gone boy she's gone
And I found her trail in Memphis but she'd just walked up the bluff
She raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone

Now won't you batter down by 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 the gulf
She loves you, big river more than me

Now 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 that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
