Now I taught the weeping willow how 
to cry
E                                 
And I showed the clouds how to 
        F#         B7
cover 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
E                                 
And it tore me up every time I 
       F#              B7
heard 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
E                                 
A freighter said she's been here 
         F#               B7
but 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
E                            
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

E
Now I taught the weeping willow how 
to cry, cry, cry
E                                 
And I showed the clouds how to 
        F#         B7
cover 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
