letra de big river - peter stampfel

Loading...

now i taught the weeping willow how to cry
i taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
but the tears i shed for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
and i’m gonna sit right here until i die

i met her accidentally in st. paul, minnesota
it tore me up first time i heard her drawl, southern drawl
at last my dream was soon to be seen, cavortin’ in davenport
and i followed you, big river, when you called

i took here to st. louis later on, down the river
a freighter said she’s been here but she’s gone, she is gone
i tracked her trail in memphis, but she just stepped up the bluff
she raised a few eyebrows and headed further south

won’t you kindly batter me down by baton rouge, louisiana
follow that woman on down to new orleans, new orleans
goodbye, i’ve had enough; gonna take my grief and dump in the gulf
she loves you, big river, more than me

i taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
i taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
but the tears i shed for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
and i’m gonna sit right here until i die
