Big Bad John - Jimmy Dean[00:00:00]

Written by：Dean[00:00:00]

Big John[00:00:00]

Big John[00:00:03]

Every mornin' at the mine[00:00:06]

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

He stood[00:00:08]

Six foot six[00:00:09]

Weighed two forty five[00:00:10]

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

Narrow at the hip[00:00:13]

And everybody knew ya didn't[00:00:14]

Give no lip[00:00:16]

To big John[00:00:17]

Big John[00:00:19]

Big John[00:00:22]

Big bad John[00:00:25]

Big John[00:00:28]

Nobody seemed to know[00:00:31]

Where John called home[00:00:32]

He just drifted into town[00:00:33]

And stayed all alone[00:00:35]

He didn't say much kinda quiet[00:00:37]

And shy[00:00:38]

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

You just said hi[00:00:40]

Big John[00:00:42]

Somebody said he came from new orleans[00:00:44]

Where he got in a fight[00:00:47]

Over a cajun queen[00:00:49]

And a crashin' blow[00:00:50]

From a huge right hand[00:00:51]

Sent a Louisiana fellow to the promised land[00:00:53]

Big John[00:00:55]

Big John[00:00:58]

Big John[00:01:01]

Big bad John[00:01:03]

Big John[00:01:06]

Then came the day[00:01:09]

At the bottom of the mine[00:01:10]

When a timber[00:01:12]

Cracked[00:01:13]

To men started cryin'[00:01:13]

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

And everybody thought that they'd breathed[00:01:18]

Their last 'cept[00:01:19]

John[00:01:20]

Through the dust[00:01:23]

And the smoke 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[00:01:28]

'Timber gave out[00:01:29]

With a groan[00:01:30]

And like a giant oak tree[00:01:31]

Just stood there alone[00:01:33]

Big John[00:01:34]

Big John[00:01:37]

Big John[00:01:39]

Big bad John[00:01:42]

Big John[00:01:45]

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

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

Then a miner yelled out[00:01:51]

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

And twenty men[00:01:53]

Scrambled from a would be grave[00:01:54]

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

Left down there to save[00:01:58]

Big John[00:01:59]

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

Then came that rumble[00:02:05]

Way down in the ground[00:02:06]

And then smoke and gas belched[00:02:07]

Out of that mine[00:02:09]

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

For big John[00:02:13]

Big John[00:02:15]

Big John[00:02:18]

Big bad John[00:02:21]

Big John[00:02:24]

Now they never reopened[00:02:27]

That worthless pit[00:02:28]

They just placed a marble stand[00:02:29]

In front of it[00:02:31]

These few words are written on that stand[00:02:33]

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

Big big man[00:02:40]

Big John[00:02:43]

Big John[00:02:45]

Big John[00:02:48]

Big bad John[00:02:51]

Big John[00:02:53]

Big John[00:02:56]
