Big River by Johnny Cash Big River Johnny Cash E Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, E D And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. E A And the tears that I cried for that woman, are gonna flood you Big River. E D E Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die. E I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota. E D And it tore me up ev'ry time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl. E A Then I heard my dream was back downstream, cavortin' in Davenport. E D A And I followed you, Big River, when you called. E Then you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river). E D A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone. E A I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block. E D A She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone. E Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on. E D Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans. E A Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf. E D E She loves you, Big River, more than me. E Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, E D And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. E A And the tears that I cried for that woman, are gonna flood you Big River. E D E Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die. www.TAB6.com
