I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry 

And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky 

And the tears I cried for that woman, are gonna flood you, big river 

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 I heard her drawl, southern drawl 

Then I heard my dream went back downstream cavortin' in Davenport, 

And I followed you, big river, when she called. 

 

Oh she took me to St. Louis later on, down the river 

A freighter said, "She's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone" 

And I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block. 

Raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone. 

 

Well, I pulled into Natchez, next day down the river 

But there wasn't much there to make the rounders stay very long. 

When I left it was rainin' so nobody saw me cry. 

Big river, why she doin' me this way? 

 

Now won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on 

Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans 

Go on, I've had enough dump my blues down in the gulf 

She loves you, big river, more than me 

 

I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry 

And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky 

And the tears I cried for that woman, are gonna flood you, big river 

And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
