Big Bad John (大坏蛋约翰) - Jimmy Dean[00:00:00]

Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive[00:00:06]

He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five[00:00:09]

Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip[00:00:11]

And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big John [00:00:14]

(Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)[00:00:20]

Nobody seemed to know where John called home[00:00:31]

He just drifted into town and stayed all alone[00:00:33]

He didn't say much kinda quiet and shy[00:00:36]

And if you spoke at all you just said "Hi" to Big John [00:00:39]

Somebody said he came from New Orleans[00:00:44]

Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen[00:00:47]

And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand[00:00:50]

Sent a Loosiana fellow to the Promised Land-Big John[00:00:53]

(Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)[00:00:58]

Then came the day at the bottom of the mine[00:01:09]

When a timber cracked and men started crying[00:01:12]

Miners were praying and hearts beat fast[00:01:15]

And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last-'cept John[00:01:17]

Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell[00:01:23]

Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well[00:01:25]

Grabbed a saggin' timber gave out with a groan[00:01:28]

And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone-Big John[00:01:31]

(Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)[00:01:36]

And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove[00:01:48]

Then a miner yelled out "There's a light up above "[00:01:50]

And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave[00:01:53]

Now there's only one left down there to save-Big John[00:01:56]

With jacks and timbers they started back down[00:02:02]

Then came that rumble way down in the ground[00:02:04]

And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine[00:02:07]

Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John[00:02:10]

(Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)[00:02:15]

Now they never reopened that worthless pit[00:02:27]

They just placed a marble stand in front of it[00:02:29]

These few words are written on that stand[00:02:32]

At the bottom of this mine lies one hell of a big big man big john[00:02:36]

(Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)[00:02:46]

(Big John) Big Bad John[00:02:56]
