Hello, Im Johnny Cash. Well, all right! 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 And Im 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 went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport And I followed you, big river, when you called Then you took me to St. Louis, later on down th river And a freighter said shs been here but shes gone, boy, shes gone I found her trail in Memphis but she just moved up the bluff Raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone Now, wont you batter down by Baton Rouge, river queen roll it on Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans Go on, Ive had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf She loves you, big river, more than me
