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

ya didn't give no lip to Big John

Nobody seemed to know

where John called home

He just drifted into town

and stayed all alone

He didn't say much 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 Loosiana 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 crying

Miners were praying

and hearts beat fast

And 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 sagging 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

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

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 then 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 lie

one hell of a big big man big john

Big John Big John

Big John Big John

Big bad John

Big Bad John
