Oh sister when I come to lay in yer arms

Weeel.
That'l be the day when you say goodbye.
That'l be the day when you make me cry.

Nooooow.
I taught the weeping willow how to cry,And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

I met her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnet er sota men jeg tror det var Liverpool eller Rutland).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 Adolesent Nightmare 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 block.She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.

Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge (9/1-78), River Queen (God Saves), roll it on (Stone) .Take that woman on down to New Orleans (Thunders), New Orleans (Iggy Pop).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, cry, cry (Whitey) And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky (Yoko Ono).And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
