Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Well I [G]taught the weeping
willow how to cry
And I showed [Gm]the clouds [G]how
to cover up a [A]clear blue [D]sky
And [G]the tears I cried for that [Gm]woman
are [C]gonna flood you Big River
Then [G]I'm gonna sit right [D]here until I [G]die
Oh I met her accidentaly in
St Paul Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard
her [A]drawl southern [D]drawl
Then I [G]heard my dream was back
downstream ca[C]vortin' in Davenport
And I fol[G]lowed you Big
[D]River when you [G]called
Then you took me to St Louis later
on down the river
A freighter said she's been here
but she's [A]gone boy she's [D]gone
I [G]found her trail in Memphis but
[C]she just walked up the block
She raised a [G]few eyebrows and [D]went
on [G]down [A]alone[D][G]
[ steel [C]- guitar [G]][D][G]
Now won't you batter down by
Boton Rouge River Queen roll it on
Take that woman on down to New
Or[A]leans New Or[D]leans
Go [Gm]on I'[G]ve had enough dump
my [C]blues down in the gulf
Oh [G]she loves you Big [D]River
more than [G]me
Yeah I taught the weeping
willow how to cry cry cry
And I showed the clouds how to
cover up [A]a clear blue s[D]ky
And [G]the tears I cried for that woman
are gonna [C]flood you Big River
Then [G]I'm gonna sit right [D]here until I die
