ENow I taught the weeping willow how to cry.
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a Bclear blue sky.
And the Etears that I cried for that woman are gonna
Aflood you Big River.
Then EI'm gonna sit right Bhere until I Edie. E G E
#2.
EI met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota.
And it tore me up every time I heard her Bdrawl, Southern drawl.
Then I Eheard my dream was back downstream, cav..Aortin' in Davenport,
and I Efollowed you, Big BRiver, when you Ecalled. E G E

EThen you took me to St. Louis, later on down the river.
A freighter said she's been here but she's Bgone, boy, she's gone.
I Efound her trail in Memphis, but she just Awalked up the block.
She raised a Efew eyebrows and then she Bwent on down aElone. E G E

ENow, won't you batten down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on.
Take that woman on down to New BOrleans, New Orleans.
Go Eon, I've had enough..dump my Ablues down in the Gulf.
She Eloves you, Big BRiver, more than Eme. E G E E G E
