Big River Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

Well I taught the weeping willow how to cry 

And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky 

And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River 

Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die 

Oh I met her accidentaly 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 went on down alone 

[ steel - guitar ] 

Now won't you batter down by Boton 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 

Oh she loves you Big River more than me 

Yeah 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 I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River 

Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
