NOW, I THOUGHT THE WEEPING WILLOW HOW TO CRY,AND I SHOWED THE CLOUDS HOW TO COVERUP A CLEAR BLUE SKY.AND THE TEARS THAT I CRIED FOR THAT WOMANARE GONNA FLOOD YOU, BIG RIVER.THEN I`M GONNA SIT RIGHT HERE UNTIL I DIE.I MET HER ACCIDENTALLY IN ST. PAUL - MINESOTA.AND IT TORE ME UP EV`RY TIME I HEARED HER DRAWL,SOUTHERN DRAWL.THEN I HEARED MY DREAM WAS BACK DONSTREAMCAVORTIN` IN DAVENPORT,AND I FOLLOWED YOU, BIG RIVER, WHEN YOU CALLED.THEN YOU TOOK ME TO ST. LOUIS LATER ON - DOWN 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 BLOCK.SHE RAISED A FEW EYEBROWS AND THENSHE WENT ON DOWN ALONE.NOW, WON`T YOU YOU BETTER DOWN BY BATON ROUGE,RIVER QUEEN, ROLL IT ON.TAKE THE WOMAN DOWN TO NEW ORLEANS, NEW ORLEANS.GO ON, I`VE HAD ENOUGH;DUMP MY BLURS DOWN IN THE GULF.SHE LOVES YOU, BIG RIVER, MORE THAN ME.NOW, I THOUGHT THE WEEPING WILLOW HOW TO CRY,AND I SHOWED THE CLOUDS HOW TO COVERUP A CLEAR BLUE SKY.AND THE TEARS THAT I CRIED FOR THAT WOMANARE GONNA FLOOD YOU, BIG RIVER.THEN I`M GONNA SIT RIGHT HERE UNTIL I DIE.
