G C G
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
G7 A7 D7
and I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
G G7 C7
And the tears that I cried for that woman
are gonna flood you Big River.
G D7 G D7 G
Then Iʼm gonna sit right here until I die.

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

Then you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
A freighter said sheʼs been here but sheʼs gone, boy, sheʼs 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.

Now, wonʼt 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.
