[Chorus]
I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
[Verse 1]
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
She tore me up every time I heard her drawl, that Southern drawl
Well, I heard my dream went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport
And I follow you big river when you called
[Chorus]
Taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
And I’m gonna sit right herе until I die
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I followed her down to St. Louiе, later on down the river
Trader said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she’s gone
Then I followed her down to Memphis
But she just walked off the bus
She raised a few eyebrows when she went on down alone
I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
[Verse 1]
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
She tore me up every time I heard her drawl, that Southern drawl
Well, I heard my dream went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport
And I follow you big river when you called
[Chorus]
Taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry
Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
And I’m gonna sit right herе until I die
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I followed her down to St. Louiе, later on down the river
Trader said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she’s gone
Then I followed her down to Memphis
But she just walked off the bus
She raised a few eyebrows when she went on down alone
