Big River (Live at Sportovní hala, Prague, Czech Republic - April 1978) - Johnny Cash

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry

And I showed the clouds

How to cover up a clear blue sky

The And tears that I cried for

That woman are gonna flood you

River Big

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

Then I heard my dream was back

Downstream cavortin' in Davenport

And I followed you

Big River when you called

When you call

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 then she went on down alone

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

Now 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
