Big River

      D
Now I taught the weeping willow how 
to cry
                               D7  
and I showed the clouds how to 
       E7         A7
cover up a clear blue sky
        D                          
And the tears that I cried for that
                     G
 woman they're gonna flood you Big 
River
     D                   A        
Then I'm gonna sit right here 
    D
until I die

[Verse]
  D
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, 
Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard
     E7              A
 her drawl, Southern drawl
       D                      
Then I heard my dream was back 
                G
downstream cav ortin' in Davenport

      D                 A         
And I followed you, Big River, 
      D
when you called
         D                         
Then you took me to St. Louis later
 G
 on down the river
  D                                
A freighter said she's been here 
        E7                    A
but she's gone, said boy, she's gone
        D                          
Well, I found her trail in Memphis,
         G
 but she just walked up the block
             D                     
She raised a few eyebrows and then 
    A              D
she went on down a lone

[Verse]
               D                   
Now, won't you batter down by Baton
              G
 Rouge, River Queen, roll it on
D                                 
Take that woman on down to New Or 
E7            A
leans, New Or leans
   G                           D
Go on, Ive had enough; dump my blues
 down in the gulf
                   A               
She loves you, Big River, more than
 D
 me
