Ring of Fire The Musical movie - Big River lyrics

rate me

Song 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>
