Testo Big River - Charlie Musselwhite
Testo della canzone Big River (Charlie Musselwhite), tratta dall'album One Night In America
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman, I'm gonna flood you, Big River
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
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 bluff
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
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman, I'm gonna flood you, Big River
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
