Big River

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

I met her accidentally in St  Paul 
Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard
     F#              B7
 her drawl, Southern drawl
        E                     
Then I heard my dream was back 
               A
Downstream cavortin' in Davenport,

            E          B7         
And I followed you, Big River, 
        E
when you called

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

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