Big River lyrics

Artist  : Collin Raye 
Song : Big River



 Send "Big River" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry,
cry
I’ve shown the clouds how to cover up a clear
blue sky
And the tears I’ve cried over that woman
Well they’re gonna flood you big river
And I’m gonna sit right here until I die

Well I met her accidentally in st. paul,
minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her draw
that southern draw
Then I heard my dream was back downstream in
davenport
Now I followed you big river when you called

Then you took me to st. louis later on down the
river
Freighter said you’d been here but she’s gone
said boy she’s gone
Well I found her trail in memphis but she just
walked up the block
She raised a few eyebrows then she moved on down
the ? 
Yes she did

Now I went back down to baton rouge my little
queen rollin’ on
Take that woman on down to new orleans, new
orleans
Go on I’ve had enough dumped my blues down in the
gulf
She loves you big river more than me

When I pulled into nachez yesterday down the
river
You know there’s not much there to make you stay
very long
When I left it was raining so nobody saw me
crying
Big river why’s she treating me this way

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry,
cry
I’ve shown the clouds how to cover up a clear
blue sky
And the tears I’ve cried over that woman
Well they’re gonna flood you big river
And I’m gonna sit right here until I die

Yeah I’m gonna sit right here until I die
