Email: prime-prine@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard Artist: The Highwaymen Album: Highwayman Year: 1985 E I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry. B7 And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. E A And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river. E B7 E And I'm gonna sit right here until I die. E I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota. B7 And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl. E A And I heard my dream, Went back downstream, cavortin' in Davenport, E B7 E And I followed you, big river, when she called. Break: E A E B7 E E Oh, she took me to St. Louie later on, down the river. B7 Freighter said, "She's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone." E A And I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the club. E B7 E Raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone. E Well, I pulled into Natches next day down river, B7 But there wasn't much there to make the rounders stay very long. E A When I left it was rainin' so nobody saw me cry. E B7 E Big river, why she doin' me this way? Break: E A E B7 E E Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on. B7 Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans. E A Go on, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf. E B7 E She loves you, big river, more than me. E I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry. B7 And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. E A And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river. E B7 E And I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
