[Verse 1]
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.
[Verse 2]
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.

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.

Bring that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans.
