    Bob sang Big River, a Johnny Cash song last night in Athens Geprgia


    Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
    And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
    And the tears that 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 was back downstream cavortin' in Davenport
    And I followed you, big river, when you called
    Oh, guitar
    Then you 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"
    I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the bluff
    She raised a few eyebrows, and then she went on down alone
    Now won't you bat it 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, oh yeah
    Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
    And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
    And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river
    And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
