Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
E                                           Gb7   B    B7 
■ And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
        E                                
And the tears that I cried for that woman
          A                  
Are gonna flood you big river
         E         B7                 E  
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
      E                                    
I met her accidentally in St Paul Minnesota
                                         Gb7   B7            
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl Southern drawl
             E                            A            E         A
Then I heard my dream was back downstream cavortin' in Davenport ■
      E                B7             E     
And I followed you big river when you called

         E                                          
Then you took me to St Louis later on down the river
                                           Gb7      B7        
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone boy she's gone
        E                                 A                  
I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block
                 E                 B7               E    
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone
                     E                                         
Now won't you batter down by Baton Rouge River Queen roll it on
                               Gb          B7     
Take that woman on down to New Orleans New Orleans
      E                       A                     
Go on I've had enough dump my blues down in the gulf
E                 B7              E7
She loves you big river more than me

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry cry cry
                                          Gb    B
