E Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, ED And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. EA And the tears that I cried for that woman, are gonna flood you Big River. EDE Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
E I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota. ED And it tore me up ev'ry time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl. EA Then I heard my dream was back downstream, cavortin' in Davenport. EDA And I followed you, Big River, when you called.
E Then you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river). ED A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone. EA I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block. EDA She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
E Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on. ED Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans. EA Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf. EDE She loves you, Big River, more than me.
