Now I taught the weeping willow
how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds

out the cover of a clear blue sky

And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
I met her accidentally in St. Paul,
Minnesota
And it tore me up every time
B

I heard her drawl, southern drawl
went back downstream,

And I followed you big
E

river when you called
Then you took me to St. Louis,
and laid her on down the river
Afraid, I said she'd been here,
B

Now won't you bat it on
down by Baton Rouge,

Take that woman on down to New Orleans,

She loves you big, the river,
Now I taught the weepin' willow
how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds

out the cover of a clear blue sky
are gonna flood you big river
