Verse 1:
   D
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
                     E     A
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
    D                      G
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River
   D          A      D
Then I’m gonna sit right here until I die

Verse 2:
 D
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
                     E        A
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl
    D                  G
Then I heard my dream was back Downstream cavortin’ in Davenport
   D         A        D
And I followed you, Big River, when you called

Verse 3:
     D
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
 D                  G
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block
       D        A       D
She raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone


Verse 4:
        D
Now, won’t you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on
                 E      A
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
  D              G
Go on, I’ve had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf

She loves you, Big River, more than me
