7.Big River
作词：John R Cash
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
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl
And I heard my dream, went back downstream cavortin' in
Davenport
And I followed you, big river, when she called
Oh, she 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'
And I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the
block
Raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone
Well, I pulled in to Natches next day down river
But the Warden was there to make the round to stay very long
When I left it was raining, so nobody saw me crawl
Big river, why she doing me this way？
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
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
