Artist: claude king
Song: big river big man
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 growing, growing)
Big man
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big river
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big man
(Keep on growing, growing)
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 growing, growing)
Big man
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big river
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big man
(Keep on growing, growing)
Look down in the water all around you
Hear the steamboat whistle blow
Come on big man, get a moving
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 growing, growing)
Big man
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big river
(Keep on growing, growing)
Big man
(Keep on growing, growing)
