Big River — текст песни (Collin Raye)

(John R. Cash)

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
I`ve shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I`ve cried over that woman
Well they`re gonna flood you big river
And I`m gonna sit right here until I die

Well I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her draw that southern draw
Then I heard my dream was back downstream in Davenport
Now I followed you big river when you called

Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river
Freighter said you`d been here but she`s gone said boy she`s gone
Well I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block
She raised a few eyebrows then she moved on down along
Yes she did

Now I went back down to Baton Rouge my little queen rollin` on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on I`ve had enough dumped my blues down in the gulf
She loves you big river more than me

When I pulled into Nachez yesterday down the river
You know there`s not much there to make you stay very long
When I left it was raining so nobody saw me crying
Big river why`s she treating me this way

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
I`ve shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I`ve cried over that woman
Well they`re gonna flood you big river
And I`m gonna sit right here until I die

Yeah I`m gonna sit right here until I die
