 G  
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry 
                                           A7         D7  
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky 
         G                                             C  
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood 
you Big River 
      G                     D7             G  
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die 
  
  
I met her accidentally in St.Paul, Minnesota 
                                          A7               D7  
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl southern drawl 
        G                                    C  
Then I heard my dream was back downstream cavorting in Davenport 
       G                        D7         G  
And I followed you Big River when you called 
  
  
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river 
                                      A7                     D7  
 A  freighter said she's been here but she's gone boy she's gone 
   G                                    C  
I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block 
     G                                    D7             G  
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone 
  
  
Now won't you batter down by Baton Rouge River Queen roll it on 
                                A7             D7  
Take that woman on down to New Orleans  New Orleans 
       G                         C  
Go on I've had enough dump my blues down in the gulf 
     G                     D7          G  
She loves you Big River more than me
