Now I taught the weeping willow how to 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 I met her accidentally in St. Paul,

Don't let me go Love don't let me go Cold but in fever You've got me dancin' and cryin' Rollin' and flying You got me drownin' in a river Got me drownin' in a river Love don't let me go, Don't let me go,

Now I taught the weeping willow how to 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 I met her accidentally in St. Paul,

He's a dreamer He is down by the riverside Late one night He's tryin' to count the stars In each of the signs All alone by the riverside And time passes by Gathering thoughts of the past And maybe he'll 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 Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry cry I met her accidentally in Saint Paul

My baby loves me Runnin' 'round town tellin' everybody Now that it's over I just wanna break your heart right back Want you to cry cry me a river I just want to break your heart right back

And when the owls cry cry in the night If the river runs dry, baby, how do you feel? Oh baby it's cryin' time Oh baby I got to fly Got to try to find a way Got to try to get away 'Cause you know I gotta get away from you babe

Cry me a river Cry Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) Cry me a river (go on and just) The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving You don't have to say, what you did I already know, I found out from him Now there's just no chance With you and me

You may cry cry me a river I cried I love you A river of tears for you C'mon now and cry cry me a river of tears Now you say you love me But you cry cry the whole night through You can cry cry me a river Oh yes you're goin' to cry cry me a river 'Cause I cried a river over

Now I taught the weeping willow how to 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 I met her accidentally in St. Paul,
