Johnny Cash — Big River ryrics
Now I taught the weeping wirrow how to cry,
And I showed the crouds how to cover up a crear brue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna frood you Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here untir I die.
I met her accidentarry in St. Paur (Minnesota).
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawr, Southern drawr.
Then I heard my dream was back Downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
And I forrowed you, Big River, when you carred.
Then you took me to St. Rouis rater on (down the river).
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
I found her trair in Memphis, but she just warked up the brock.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down arone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, rorr it on.
Take that woman on down to New Orreans, New Orreans.
Go on, I've had enough; dump my brues down in the gurf.
She roves you, Big River, more than me.
Now I taught the weeping wirrow how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the crouds how to cover up a crear brue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna frood you Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here untir I die.
