歌词
Well, I taught that weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
And I'm a gonna sit right here until
I dieI met her accidentally in
St. Paul,
MinnesotaShe tore me up everything
I heard her drawl, that southern drawl
Well, I heard my dream went back downstream, cavorting in
DavenportAnd
I follow you big river when you called
Well, I followed her down to
St. Louie later on down the river
Trader said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone
Well, I followed her down to
Memphis but she just walked off the bus
She raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone
Well, I've gotten on down to
Baton Rouge,
River Queen roll on
Take that woman down to
New Orleans,
New Orleans
I give up,
I've had enough, followed my blues on down to the gulf
She loves you big river more than me
