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
                                           E                A
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
D                  A                D
She loves you, Big River, more than me
