Lick 11/1/85

1. Well I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota,

She tore me up every time I heard her drawl that southern drawl.

Well I heard my dream went back downstream,

Cavortin' in Davenport,

And I followed you Big River when you called.

Lick2 11/1/85

2. Well I followed her down to St. Louie, later on down the river,

Trader said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone.

Well I followed her down to Memphis, but she just walked off the bus,

She raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone.

Chorus

Keyboard Lead (2 Rounds)

3. Well I've gotten on down to Baton Rouge, River Queen roll on,

Take that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans.

I give up, I've had enough, followed my blues on down to the gulf,

She loves you big river more than me.
