00:00Hello, we're Trick Pony.
00:35Now I met him accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota, and it tore me up every time I heard his drawl,
00:44that southern drawl. Then I heard my dream went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport, and I followed you, Big River,
00:53when you called.
01:21Then you took me to St. Louis, later on, down the river.
01:26A freighter said she's been here, but she's gone, boy she's gone. I found a trail in Memphis, but she
01:35just walked up the bluff. She raised a few eyebrows and went on down along.
01:41Well, I pulled into Natchez next day down the river, but there wasn't that much to make around to stay
01:50early on. When I left, it was raining, so nobody saw me cry. Big River, why is she doing me
02:00this way?
02:00Yeah!
02:02Yeah!
02:27Now, won't you batting down the Baton Rouge, a River Queen?
02:31I'm rolling on. Take that man on down, a new old days. I said, new old days. Well, go on,
02:39I've had enough. Put my blues down in the gut. Yeah, he loves you, Big River, more than me.
02:47Yeah, I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry, cry. And I showed the clouds how to cover
02:55up a clear blue sky. And the tears I cried for that woman, we're gonna flood you, Big River. And
03:04I'm gonna sit right here until I die. Well, now I'm gonna sit right here until I die. Until I
03:13die. That's right.
03:13That's right.
