[Intro 1]
[Am][Ebdim][Am][Ebdim]
[Am][Ebdim][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I
went up the levee to pack some sacks
[B]And I [Am]thought I'd bring
me some money back.
Big boat up the river and
she can't come down.
[B]My wom[Am]an on the levee
wearing a frown.

[Verse 2]
Big boat [Am]up the river and
she can't come down
Big boat up the river and
she can't come down
Big boat up the river and she
can't come down
Big boat up the river and

[Verse 3]
she can't come down
[Am]Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
There's a big boat up the river
and she can't come down

[Verse 4]
Big [Am]boat up the river and
she can't come down
Big boat up the river blowing loud and fast
If she don't get to deep
water she'll never land
And my woman on the
levee shaking her hand,
She thinks she's gonna
quit me for another man
[B]Big

[Verse 5]
[Am]boat up th[B]e [Am]river and
[B]she [Am]can't come down
Big boat up the river and
she can't come down
Big boat up the river and she can't come [Ebdim]down[Am][Adim][Ebdim][Am]

[Am]
Big boat up [B]the river [Am]and she
[B]can't [Am]come down

[Verse 6]
[Am]Somebody [Ebdim]tell that[Am] woman
Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
There's a big boat up the river
and she can't come down

[Verse 7]
[Am]Big boat up the river and
she can't come down
Big boat up the river blowing loud and fast
[B]And my [Am]woman on the levee
feeling mighty sad
She thinks I got the money
that I once had had
[B]But when [Am]I get her home it's
gonna be too bad.

[Verse 8]
[Am]Big boat up the river and
she can't come down
Big boat up the river and
she can't come down
Big boat up the river and
she can't come down
[E]Big boat up the river and
she can't come down
[Am]Somebody tell that woman

[Verse 9]
[Am]
Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
There's a big boat up the river
and she can't come down
