Now a Etaught the weepin willow how ta cry
And a showed the clouds how ta cE7over up,Ethe F#7clear blue B7sky
And the Etears a cried for that E7woman,are gonnaA7,flood you big river
E B7 E G/E/G/E/G/E
Then am gonna sit right here until a die
EI met her accidently in St Paul,Minnesota
An it tore me up everyE7time a Eheard her F#7drawl,Southern B7drawl
Then a Eheard ma dream was E7back downstream A7cavortin in Davenport
E B7 E G/E/G/E/G/E
And a follwed you,big river,when you called
EThen you took me to St Louis,later on,down the river
A freighter said she's been E7here but Eshe's F#7gone,boy she's B7gone
A Efound her trail in E7Memphis,but sheA7 just walked up the block
E B7 E G/E/G/E/G/E
She raised a few eyebrows,and then went on down alone
ENow don't you batter down by Baton Rouge,River Queen,roll it on
Take that E7woman on Edown to New OrF#7leans,New OrB7leans
Go Eon a've had enoE7ugh,dump ma A7blues down in the gulf
E B7 E G/E/G/E/G/E
She loves you,big river,more than me
