Lyrics Big River - Highwaymen feat. Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash & Kris Kristofferson
Now
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.
Then
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.
Then
I
heard
my
dream
was
back
Downstream
cavortin'
in
Davenport,
And
I
followed
you,
Big
River,
when
you
called.
Then
you
took
me
to
St.
Louis
later
on
(down
the
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
then
she
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.
Then
I'm
gonna
sit
right
here
until
I
die.
