Hello, we're Trick Pony
Well, I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that man, they're gonna flood you, big river
Well, I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Now I met him accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard his drawl, that Southern drawl
Then I heard my dream went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport
And I followed you, big river, when you called, oh yeah
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 went on down alone
Well, now I pulled into Natchez next day down the river
But there wasn't that much to make around to stay very long
When I left, it was raining, so nobody saw me cry
Big river, why's she doing me this way?
Now won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, river queen, rolling on
Take that man on down to New Orleans, I said New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough, put my blues down in the gulf
Yeah, he loves you, big river, more than me
Yeah, I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Yeah, now I'm gonna sit right here until I die (Until I die)
That's right
