I was trying to find another song, with the same name, but can’t remember the singer
(probably not heard it for 30+ years, but have the song in my head)

Johnny Cash & The Tennessee Three
Big River

[Richard A Thackeray]

Another big man
"6 foot 6, he stood on the ground
He weighed 235 pounds"

Jerry Reed
A Thing Called Love

Reed wrote this, but the Johnny Cash cover is far better known
Most of you will know Reed better as an actor, from films like Smokey & The Bandit, but he's one hell of a guitar picker!!
(even players like Chet Atkins admired him)
