Lyrics Big River [Live at Oakland Auditorium Arena, December 26, 1979] - Grateful Dead
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
die.
I
met
her
accidentally
in
St.
Paul,
Minnesota,
She
tore
me
up
everything
I
heard
her
drawl,
that
southern
drawl.
Well
I
heard
my
dream
went
back
downstream,
cavortin'
in
Davenport,
And
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.
