[Verse]

E
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
F# B7
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
E A
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
E B7 E
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die

[Instrumental]

E
I met her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnesota).
F# B7
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl.
E A
Then I heard my dream was back Downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
E B7 E
And I followed you, Big River, when you called.

E
Then you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
F# B7
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
E A
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
E B7 E
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.

[Instrumental]

E
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on.
F# B7
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans.
E A
Go on, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf.
E B7 E
She loves you, Big River, more than me.

E
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
F# B7
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
E A
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
E B7 E......E7
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
