I have seen and heard umpteen versions of this song by all the four artists, performed individually or together, and live each and every one of it. *Glory Days of Country Music* .
Willie sings it so much faster in live version why, I think waylon and johnny were the best singers they sound exactly like their studio versions of their songs
I see what you mean here, but I think it gives it individuality. I don't believe they should or need to sound exactly the same as on the album. This version is also faster as a whole than the studio version as well, that could also be some of it
There some men on that stage that just can't be replaced, John cash ,waylon, willy , kristoferson. If you want to hear them again live, you best get right with Jesus because thats who they will be hanging out with when they play now.
Lyrics: I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman, are gonna flood you, big river And 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 went back downstream cavortin' in Davenport, And I followed you, big river, when she called. Oh she 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" And I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block. Raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone. Well, I pulled into Natchez, next day down the river But there wasn't much there to make the rounders stay very long. When I left it was rainin' so nobody saw me cry. Big river, why she doin' me this way? 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 I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman, are gonna flood you, big river And I'm gonna sit right here until I die

Awww Just seeing and hearing Willie, Waylon.Kris.and Johnny Cash together sends chills up my spine.
How fantastic they all are in their own unique ways, and then when they came together! We will never see their like again.
So true
jade: Exactly my thinking. Each of them great on their own. When joining - just priceless... I miss them as you do...

God...these guys were good! Wish they were all still with us...and still singing together like this! ... I miss Waylon and Johnny...
Kris said this is the best country song ever written
Country and otherwise!!!

Reggie Young on lead guitar. Session musician, who's been on more recordings
over many years than almost anyone you could name.
RIP Reggie YOUNG

The Highwaymen cover Cash's masterpiece 'Big River' - historical!
Waylon, THE BEST!!!!
Yes you’re right, best ever.

What about that. Voices are true. Instruments are true. Looks like talent.
You name it, man... :-)
There some men on that stage that just can't be replaced, John cash ,waylon, willy , kristoferson. If you want to hear them again live, you best get right with Jesus because thats who they will be hanging out with when they play now.

They definitely were never a "boygroup". YUK

I like Waylon singing this song

Where is this oh my God so lucky
Lyrics:
I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman, are gonna flood you, big river
And 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 went back downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
And I followed you, big river, when she called.
Oh she 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"
And I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
Raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone.
Well, I pulled into Natchez, next day down the river
But there wasn't much there to make the rounders stay very long.
When I left it was rainin' so nobody saw me cry.
Big river, why she doin' me this way?
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
I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman, are gonna flood you, big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
My dream ~ The Big River!?!? LOVE THE TRIBUTE!
The best
😎🎸🌟😆
Thank You for sharing this Great Video !!!
why does kris sound so weird
ljmacintosh he may of been sick
I suspect allergy. It is summer in New York. Lots of pollen.
Johnny Cash- Top
check out George Jones doing this song with willie and Kris.
George rocked that shit when he did it with them.
