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* .
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.
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
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

If i have a time machine this could very well be the first place i stop at.
Kris said this is the best country song ever written
Country and otherwise!!!
Mickey Raphael on harp is brilliant.
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...
Awww Just seeing and hearing Willie, Waylon.Kris.and Johnny Cash together sends chills up my spine.
God...these guys were good! Wish they were all still with us...and still singing together like this! ... I miss Waylon and Johnny...
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* .
Kris sounded like he lost his voice here.
Waylon, THE BEST!!!!
Yes you’re right, best ever.
Yeah waylon was the best❤
The Highwaymen cover Cash's masterpiece 'Big River' - historical!
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
1936-12-12 till 2019- 01-17
John R CASH 's masterpiece!!!

2:14 Don't think i've ever heard Willie hit a note that low before.
much more hip than old version
great quality
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
Two words, Fucking Awesome!
Awesome!
Amei...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Where is this oh my God so lucky
the way they sing live is so different stil good though
ben up the river with out the paddle
Nothin better than that low twang telecaster!!
tpro skyebo Low down 'n' dirty is where it's at!
Johnny is the best
Sure he is.
Good stuff. whenever guys do this they all want to take their band members. I could imagine that discussion over a bottle of jack and deck of cards.
Epic!
