Big John
Big John
Every mornin' at the mine, you could see him arrive
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Kinda broad at the shoulder at 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
Didn't say much, he kinda quiet and shy
But if you spoke at all, he 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 crashin' 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 the men started cryin'
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
Everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'cept John
Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree, he just stood there alone, Big John
Big John
Big John
Big Bad John
Big John
With all of his strength, he gave a mighty shove
Then a miner yelled out, "There's a light up above"
And 20 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 as 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
