歌词
现在我教会了垂柳如何去哭
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
我还给云朵展示了怎样遮住碧蓝晴空
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
我为那女人流的眼泪会使你泛滥
the And tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you
大河啊
River.Big
然后我要在这里端坐不动至死方休
我无意中与她相见在圣保罗（明尼苏达）
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
一听到她拖着长音，我就撕心裂肺
南方的长音啊
I met her accidentally in St. Paul （Minnesota）.
我又发现我的梦想回来了
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl,
跳跃在下游的达文波特
Southern drawl.
我要追随你
Then I heard my dream was back
大河啊，当你召唤时
Downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
然后你顺着河流把我带到了圣路易斯
And I followed you,
一个租船人说她来过这里可她走了，孩子，她走了
Big River, when you called.
我在孟菲斯寻觅到她的足迹，但她只走上了街逛了逛
她抬了抬眉毛又独自启程
Then you took me to St. Louis later on （down the river）.
现在，你难道最好不从巴吞鲁日向下游去吗？
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
河流女皇啊，摇摆下去吧
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
把那女人直带到新奥尔良吧
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
新奥尔良啊
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge,
继续吧，我受够了
River Queen, roll it on.
她爱着你
Take that woman on down to New Orleans,
大河啊，胜过爱我
New Orleans.
现在我教会了垂柳如何去哭，哭，哭
Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf.
我还给云朵展示了怎样遮住碧蓝晴空
She loves you,
我为那女人流的眼泪会使你泛滥
Big River, more than me.
大河啊
然后我要在这里端坐不动至死方休
Now 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 that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you
Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
