Big Bad John (Joy In My Heart Album Version) - Jimmy Dean[00:00:01]
Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive [00:00:18]
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five [00:00:21]
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip [00:00:24]
Everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John [00:00:27]
Big John[00:00:33]
Big John[00:00:35]
Big Bad John[00:00:38]
Big John[00:00:41]
Nobody seemed to know where John called home [00:00:45]
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone [00:00:47]
He didn't say much kinda quiet and shy [00:00:51]
If ya spoke at all ya just said hi to Big John [00:00:54]
Somebody said he came from New Orleans [00:00:59]
Where he got in a fight o'er a cajun queen [00:01:02]
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand [00:01:05]
Sent a Lousianna fella to the promised land Big John [00:01:08]
Big John[00:01:13]
Big John[00:01:16]
Big Bad John[00:01:19]
Big John[00:01:22]
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine [00:01:26]
When a timber cracked and men started cryin' [00:01:28]
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast [00:01:31]
And everybody thought they'd[00:01:34]
Breathed their last 'cept John[00:01:36]
Through the dust and the smoke[00:01:40]
Of this man-made hell [00:01:42]
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well [00:01:43]
Grabbed the saggin' timber and gave out with a groan [00:01:46]
And like a giant oak tree [00:01:49]
Just stood there alone Big John [00:01:50]
Big John[00:01:54]
Big John[00:01:57]
Big Bad John[00:02:00]
Big John[00:02:03]
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove [00:02:07]
Then a miner yelled out there's a light up above [00:02:09]
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave [00:02:12]
Now there's only one left down there to save Big John [00:02:15]
With jacks and timbers they started back down [00:02:21]
Then came that rumble way down in the ground [00:02:24]
As smoke and gas belched outta the mine[00:02:27]
Everybody knew it was the end[00:02:30]
Of the line for Big John [00:02:31]
Big John[00:02:35]
Big John[00:02:38]
Big Bad John[00:02:41]
Big John[00:02:44]
Now they never re-opened that worthless pit [00:02:47]
They just placed a marble stand in front of it [00:02:50]
These few words are written on that stand [00:02:53]
At the bottom of this mine lies[00:02:57]
One Hell of a man Big John [00:03:00]
Big John[00:03:04]
Big John[00:03:07]
Big Bad John[00:03:11]
Big John[00:03:13]
Big John[00:03:16]
Big Bad John[00:03:19]
Big John[00:03:21]
