Big River

A A Well I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry B7 E7 I taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. A A7 D7 The tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River. A E7 A And I'm gonna sit right here until I die. A Well I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota. B7 E7 It tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl. A A7 D7 I heard her scream get back downstream cavortin' in Davenport, A E7 A And I followed you, Big River, when you called. A A B7 E7 A A7 D7 A E7 A A Well, you took me to St. Louis later on, down the river. B7 E7 A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone. A A7 D7 I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block. A E7 A She raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone. A A B7 E7 A A7 D7 A E7 A A A B7 E7 A A7 D7 A E7 A A Well, go on down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on. B7 E7 Bring that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans. A A7 D7 Go on, I've had enough, dump my blues down on the gulf. A E7 A She loves you, Big River, more than me.
