Now I ^Etaught the weeping willow how to ^Ecry, And I ^Eshowed the clouds how to cover up a ^F#clear blue ^B7sky. And the ^Etears that I cried for that woman, are gonna ^Aflood you Big River. Then ^EI'm gonna sit right ^B7here until I ^Edie.

[Verse 2]

I ^Emet her accidentally in St. ^EPaul, Minne^Esota. And it ^Etore me up ev'ry time I heard her ^F#drawl, Southern ^B7drawl. Then I ^Eheard my dream was back downstream, ca^Avortin' in Davenport. And ^EI followed you, Big ^B7River, when you ^Ecalled.

Then you ^Etook me to St. ^ELouis later ^Eon (down the ^Eriver). A ^Efreighter said she's been here but she's ^F#gone, boy, she's ^B7gone. I ^Efound her trail in Memphis, but she ^Ajust walked up the bluff. She ^Eraised a few eyebrows and then she ^B7went on down a^Elone.

[Verse 4]

Now, won't you ^Ebatter down by Baton ^ERouge, River ^EQueen, roll it ^Eon. ^ETake that woman on down to New ^F#Orleans, New Or^B7leans. Go ^Eon, I've had e^Enough; dump my ^Ablues down in the gulf. ^EShe loves you, Big ^B7River, more than ^Eme.
