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