        D                                               G
And the tears that I cried for that woman they're gonna flood you Big River

     D                   A            D
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die

  D                                        E7                    A
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, said boy, she's gone

        D                                   G
Well, I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block

             D                         A              D

D                                 E7            A
Take that woman on down to New Or leans, New Or leans

   G                           D
Go on, Ive had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf
