Big Bad John (大坏蛋约翰) - Hit Crew Masters[00:00:00]
(Big John Big John)[00:00:06]
Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive[00:00:12]
He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five[00:00:15]
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip[00:00:18]
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big John [00:00:20]
(Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)[00:00:25]
Nobody seemed to know where John called home[00:00:37]
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone[00:00:40]
He didn't say much kinda quiet and shy[00:00:42]
And if you spoke at all you just said "Hi" to Big John [00:00:45]
Somebody said he came from New Orleans[00:00:50]
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen[00:00:53]
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand[00:00:56]
Sent a Loosiana fellow to the Promised Land- Big John[00:00:59]
(Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)[00:01:04]
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine[00:01:15]
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'[00:01:18]
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast[00:01:21]
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last-'cept John[00:01:24]
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell[00:01:29]
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well[00:01:32]
Grabbed a saggin' timber gave out with a groan[00:01:35]
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone- Big John[00:01:37]
(Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)[00:01:43]
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove[00:01:54]
Then a miner yelled out "There's a light up above "[00:01:57]
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave[00:02:00]
Now there's only one left down there to save- Big John[00:02:02]
With jacks and timbers they started back down[00:02:08]
Then came that rumble way down in the ground[00:02:10]
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine[00:02:13]
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John[00:02:16]
(Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)[00:02:21]
Now they never reopened that worthless pit[00:02:33]
They just placed a marble stand in front of it[00:02:35]
These few words are written on that stand[00:02:38]
At the bottom of this mine lies a big big man Big John[00:02:42]
(Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)[00:02:50]
Big John[00:03:01]
