E
Now a taught the weepin willow how ta cry
E7 E F#7 B7
And a showed the clouds how ta cover up,the clear blue sky
E E7 A7
And the tears a cried for that woman,are gonna,flood you big river
E B7 E G/E/G/E/G/E
Then am gonna sit right here until a die
E
I met her accidently in St Paul,Minnesota
E7 E F#7 B7
An it tore me up everytime a heard her drawl,Southern drawl
E E7 A7
Then a heard ma dream was back downstream cavortin in Davenport
E B7 E G/E/G/E/G/E
And a follwed you,big river,when you called

E
Then you took me to St Louis,later on,down the river
E7 E F#7 B7
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone,boy she's gone
E E7 A7
A found her trail in Memphis,but she just walked up the block
E B7 E G/E/G/E/G/E
She raised a few eyebrows,and then went on down alone
E
Now don't you batter down by Baton Rouge,River Queen,roll it on
E7 E F#7 B7
Take that woman on down to New Orleans,New Orleans
E E7 A7
Go on a've had enough,dump ma blues down in the gulf
E B7 E G/E/G/E/G/E
She loves you,big river,more than me
