I Etaught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry.
And I showed 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.
And EI'm gonna sit right B7here until I Edie.
I Emet her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota.
And it tore me up every time I heard her dF#rawl, southern dB7rawl.
And I Eheard my dream, Went back downstream, Acavortin' in Davenport,
And I Efollowed you, big B7river, when she Ecalled.
Break:
E A
E B7 E
Oh, Eshe took me to St. Louie later on, down the river.
Freighter said, "She's been here, but she's gF#one, boy, she's B7gone."
And I Efound her trail in Memphis, but she Ajust walked up the club.
Raised a few Eeyebrows and B7went on down Ealone.
Well, I Epulled into Natches next day down river,
But there wasn't much there to make the rounders sF#tay very lB7ong.
When I Eleft it was rainin' so Anobody saw me cry.
Big Eriver, why she B7doin' me this Eway?
Break:
E A
E B7 E
Now, won't you Ebatter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on.
Take that woman on down to New OrlF#eans, New OrlB7eans.
Go on, EI've had enough, dump my Ablues down in the gulf.
She Eloves you, big B7river, more than Eme.
I Etaught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry.
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clF#ear blue sB7ky.
And the Etears that I cried for that woman are gonna Aflood you, big river.
And EI'm gonna sit right B7here until I Edie.
