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