Big John[00:00:00]
Big John[00:00:03]
Ev'ry mornin' 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[00:00:12]
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big John[00:00:14]
(Big John Big John)[00:00:18]
Big Bad John[00:00:25]
(Big John)[00:00:28]
Nobody seemed to know where John called home[00:00:31]
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone[00:00:34]
He didn't say much he kinda quiet and shy[00:00:37]
And if you spoke at all he just said "Hi" to Big John[00:00:40]
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 to the Promised Land Big John[00:00:54]
(Big John Big John)[00:00:58]
Big Bad John[00:01:04]
(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 that they'd breathed their last 'cept John[00:01:18]
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[00:01:26]
Grabbed a saggin' timber gave out with a groan[00:01:29]
And like a giant Oak tree he just stood there alone Big John[00:01:31]
(Big John Big John)[00:01:37]
Big Bad John[00:01:42]
(Big John)[00:01:45]
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"[00:01:51]
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave[00:01:54]
Now there's only one left down there to save Big John[00:01:57]
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 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)[00:02:24]
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 lies a big big man Big John[00:02:36]
(Big John Big John)[00:02:44]
Big Bad John[00:02:50]
(Big John)[00:02:53]
(Big John)[00:02:55]
Big Bad John[00:02:57]
