Big Bad John
作詞：Jimmy Dean
(Big John, Big John)
Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John
(Big John, Big John)
Big Bad John
(Big John)
Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, he kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said 'Hi' to Big John
Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun queen
And a crashing blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Louisiana fellow to the promised land, Big John
(Big John, Big John)
Big Bad John
(Big John)
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Miners were praying and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last 'cept John
Through the dust and smoke of this man made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well

Grabbed a sagging timber and gave out with a grown
And like a giant oak tree, just stood there alone, Big John
(Big John, Big John)
Big Bad John
(Big John)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Then a miner yelled out, there's a light up above
And twenty men scrambled from a would be grave
And now there's only one left down there to save, Big John
With jacks and timbers they started back down
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
And the smoke and gas belched out of that mine
Everybody knew, it was the end of the line for Big John
(Big John, Big John)
Big Bad John
(Big John)
Now they never reopened that worthless pit
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
These few words are written on that stand
At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man, Big John
(Big John, Big John)
Big Bad John
(Big John, Big John)
