Big River by Johnny Cash
F Now, I taught the weepin willow how to cry, and I showed the clouds how to cover up a clGear blue sCky, but the teFars that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big rBbiver, and I'm gonna sit right hCere until I dFie. I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota, and it tore me up every time I heard her drGawl, southern drCawl. Then I heFard my dream went back downstream, cavortin in DavenpBbort, and I followed you, big riCver, when you caFlled.
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river. A freighter said 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 bide it down by Baton Rouge, river queen rollin 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 weepin willow how to cry, cry, 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, and I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
