Big Bad John - Jimmy Dean/Rose Madox[00:00:00]

Big John[00:00:00]

Big John[00:00:03]

Ev'ry mornin' at the mine[00:00:06]

You could see him arrive[00:00:07]

He stood six foot six[00:00:09]

And weighed two forty five[00:00:10]

Kinda broad at the shoulder[00:00:11]

And narrow at the hip[00:00:13]

And everybody knew [00:00:14]

Ya didn't give no lip to Big John[00:00:15]

Big John Big John[00:00:19]

Big Bad John[00:00:25]

Big John[00:00:27]

Nobody seemed to know[00:00:30]

Where John called home[00:00:32]

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

He didn't say much [00:00:36]

He kinda quiet and shy[00:00:38]

And if you spoke at all [00:00:39]

He just said "Hi" to Big John[00:00:41]

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 Louisiana fellow[00:00:53]

To the Promised Land Big John[00:00:54]

Big John Big John[00:00:58]

Big Bad John[00:01:03]

Big John[00:01:06]

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

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

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

And everybody thought[00:01:18]

That they'd breathed their last acept John[00:01:19]

Through the dust and the smoke[00:01:23]

Of this man made hell[00:01:24]

Walked a giant of a man[00:01:26]

That the miners knew well[00:01:27]

Grabbed a saggin' timber [00:01:28]

Gave out with a groan[00:01:29]

And like a giant Oak tree [00:01:30]

He just stood there alone Big John[00:01:33]

Big John Big John[00:01:36]

Big Bad John[00:01:42]

Big John[00:01:44]

And with all of his strength[00:01:48]

He gave a mighty shove[00:01:49]

Then a miner yelled out [00:01:50]

"There's a light up above"[00:01:52]

And twenty men scrambled[00:01:53]

From a would-be grave[00:01:55]

Now there's only one left down[00:01:56]

There to save Big John[00:01:58]

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

Then came that rumble way down in the ground[00:02:05]

And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine[00:02:08]

Everybody knew it was[00:02:10]

The end of the line for Big John[00:02:11]

Big John Big John[00:02:15]

Big Bad John[00:02:21]

Big John[00:02:23]

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[00:02:33]

At the bottom of this mine[00:02:36]

Lies a big big man Big John[00:02:39]

Big John Big John[00:02:45]

Big Bad John[00:02:50]

Big John[00:02:53]

Big John[00:02:56]

Big Bad John[00:02:58]
