Big River Big Man — текст песни (Claude King)

Way down on Mississippi big river came a mighty big man
He built a town on that river and owned everything in that glen
He fell in love and married a girl she was young and mean and wild
He tried to tame her but it couldn`t been done it was too late to devil`s own child
Big river (keep on growin` growin`) big man (keep on growin` growin`)
Big river (keep on growin` growin`) big man (keep on growin` growin`)
The love you have for greed and power surely pull you down
You lose your friends you lose your soul in that darn city to big man`s town
Big river (keep on growin` growin`) big man (keep on growin` growin`)
Big river (keep on growin` growin`) big man (keep on growin` growin`)

Look down in the water all around you hear the steamboat whistle blow
Come on big man get a movin` you got a long way to go
Just like a big river big man you gotta move on and on
Take your money keep your dough you`re gonna be left all alone
Big river (keep on growin` growin`)...
