Version 2 of the lyrics

1  Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry   Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry. 1
2  And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky   And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. 2
3  And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River   And the tears that I cried for that woman,                                     3
4  Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die   Are      gonna flood you, Big River.         4
5                                                        Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die. 5
1  I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota   1
6  And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl                                                          I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota. 6
7  Then                                I heard my dream was back downstream Cavortin' in Davenport   And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl.                                       7
8  And I followed you, Big River, when you called                   Then I heard my dream went back downstream, Cavortin' in Davenport, 8
9                                                             And I followed you, Big River, when you called. 9
2  Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river   2
10  A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone   Oh, guitar.                                                                10
3  I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block   3
11  Raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone   [Instrumental break.]                                                       11

12  Now, won't you batter                                 down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on   Then        you took me to St. Louis later on, down the river.                                      12
13  Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans                  A freighter said, "She's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone." 13
14  Go on, I've had enough, dump my blues down in                                       the gulf   I found her trail                                 in Memphis, but she just walked up the block. 14
  She loves you, Big River, more than me   She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.

2  Now, won't you batten down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on.2
3  Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans.3

5  She loves you, Big River, more than me.5
