Key: A major
Verse 1
G
C
G
Now I taught the weeping willow
how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds
A
D
out the cover of a clear blue sky
G
And the tears I cried for that woman
C
are gonna flood your big river
G
D
G
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
A
D
I heard her drawl, southern drawl
G
Then I hurt my dream,
went back downstream,
C
cavortin' in Davenport
C#dim
G
And I followed you big
D
G
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,
A
D
but she's gone, gone, gone
G
I found her trail in Memphis,
C
but she'd just walked up the bluff
G
She raised a few eyebrows,
D
G
C
G
and then she went on down alone
Now won't you bat it on
down by Baton Rouge,
river queen rollin' on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans,
A
D
New Orleans
G
Go on, I've had enough,
C
C#dim
dump my blues down in the Gulf
C
G
D
She loves you big, the river,
G
more than me
Now I taught the weepin' willow
how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds
A
D
out the cover of a clear blue sky
G
And the tears I cried for that woman
are gonna flood you big river
