A
(stay on A until you find the right tempo)[Chorus]
A Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry, B E Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. A A7 D Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river, A E A And I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.
[Verse 1]
A I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota, A B She tore me up every time I heard her drawl, E That southern drawl. A A7 Well I heard my dream went back downstream, D Cavortin' in Davenport, A E A And I followed you big river when you called.
[Chorus]
A Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry, B E Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. A A7 D Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river, A E A And I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.
[Verse 2]
A
Well I followed her down to St. Louie,Later on down the river,
Freighter said she's been here,
B E But she's gone, boy, she's gone. A A7 Well I followed her down to Memphis, D But she just walked off the bus, A E A She raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone.
[Chorus]
A Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry, B E Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. A A7 D Tears I cried for that woman (yeah) are gonna flood you big river, A E A And I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.
[Verse 3]
A
So I'm battin' on down to Baton Rouge,River Queen roll on,
B E Take that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans. A A7 I give up, I've had enough, D Followed my blues on down to the gulf, A E A She loves you big river more than me.
[Chorus]
A Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry, B E Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. A A7 D Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river, A E A And I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.
