Big Driver

      F                            
Now I taught the weeping willow how
 F  F
 to cry,
                               F7  
and I showed the clouds how to 
       G7         G7
cover up a clear blue sky.
        F                          
And the tears that I cried for that
 F7              F7
 woman are gonna flood you Big 
River.
     F                   G7   F 
Then I'm gonna sit right here 
G7    F
until I die.

2. I met her accidentally in St. 
Paul (Minnesota).
   And it tore me up ev'ry time I 
heard her drawl, Southern drawl.
   Then I heard my dream was back 
downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
   And I followed you, Big River, 
when you called.

3. Then you 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.
   I found her trail in Memphis, but
 she just walked up the block.
   She raised a few eyebrows and 
then she went on down alone.

4. 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.
