Johnny Cash & the Tennessee Two

Johnny Cash & the Tennessee Two were a country music duo consisting of Johnny Cash on vocals and rhythm guitar, and Marshall Grant on bass. They were active in the 1950s and 1960s and played a major role in the development of the rockabilly and country genres. The duo's stripped-down sound, characterized by Cash's deep, resonant voice and Grant's solid bass lines, became a trademark of their music. They gained popularity with hits like "I Walk the Line" and "Folsom Prison Blues," and their raw and rebellious style made them influential figures in American music history. more »

 Struggling with Big River? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Now I taught the weeping willow how to 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.

I met her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnesota).
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl.
Then I heard my dream was back Downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
And I followed you, Big River, when you called.

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 block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.

Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it 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 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.
