Big River

                G

Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry,

                                                                                          A                      D

Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.

G                                                                                          C

Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river,

            G                                             D7                      G

And I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.

I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota,

She tore me up everything I heard her drawl that southern drawl.

Well I heard my dream went back downstream, Cavortin' in Davenport,

And I followed you big river when you called.

Chorus

Well I followed her down to St. Louie, Later on down the river,

Trader said she's been here, But she's gone, boy, she's gone.

Well I followed her down to Memphis, But she just walked off the bus,

She raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone.

Chorus

Well I've gotten on down to Baton Rouge, River Queen roll on,

Take that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans.

I give up, I've had enough, Followed my blues on down to the gulf,

She loves you big river more than me.

Chorus
