[Well, i taught weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
And i showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
But the tears i've shed for that woman are gonna flood you, Big River
And i'm gonna sit right here until I die.]
...taught weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
But the tears i've shed for that woman are gonna flood you, Big River
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
Well, I met her accidentally in St Paul, Minnesota
And she tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl
Now, I heard my dream way back down stream, cavorting in Davonport
And I followed you, Big River, when you called.
Well, they took me on down to St Louis, later on down the river
Frieda said she'd been here but she's gone, boy she's gone
Well, I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block
She raised a few eye-brows as she walked down alone.
Why won't you better die by Baton Rouge, River Queen, rolling on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
But won't I have had enough, left my blues gone down in the gulf
She loves you, Big River, more than me.

Review:
To follow in their 'GBS' series, Scorpio released their own version of the recent White Bear release 'A Tree With Roots' in this incredible multi-fold out packaging. This is not a direct copy of the previous release. While the quality remains the same, there are a few differences in the track order. Compare the two. The packaging is simply astounding. The tri-fold album is full of breathtaking photos, and houses four cardboard inner sleeves. Each inner sleeve contains a CD, and lists the full track information on the back.
