[00:11.211] Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive
[00:13.838] He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
[00:16.414] King of broad at the shoulder at narrow at the hip
[00:18.987] And everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John
[00:23.681]
[00:24.064] (Big John)
[00:26.205] (Big John)
[00:28.819] Big Bad John
[00:31.468] (Big John)
[00:33.258]
[00:34.160] Well nobody seemed to know where John called home
[00:36.687] He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
[00:39.367] He didn't say much a kind a quiet and shy
[00:41.964] And if you spoke at all you just said "hi" to Big John
[00:48.055]
[00:49.678] Somebody said he came from New Orleans
[00:52.036] Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
[00:54.865] And a crashing blow from a huge right hand
[00:57.377] Sent a Louisiana fellow to the promised land, Big John
[01:01.470]
[01:01.960] (Big John)
[01:04.446] (Big John)
[01:07.075] Big Bad John
[01:10.236] (Big John)
[01:12.246]
[01:12.609] Well then came the day at the bottom of the mine
[01:15.041] When a timber cracked and the men started crying
[01:17.610] Miners were praying and the hearts beat fast
[01:20.199] And everybody thought they'd breathed their last 'cept John
[01:24.768]
[01:24.975] (Big John)
[01:27.608] (Big John)
[01:30.458] Big Bad John
[01:35.184] (Big John)
[01:35.787]
[01:35.910] Through the dust and smoke of this man made hell
[01:38.084] Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
[01:40.634] Grabbed a sagging timber and gave out with a groan
[01:43.125] And like a giant oak tree just stood there alone
[01:45.599] Big John
[01:47.580]
[01:48.420] (Big John)
[01:50.428] (Big John)
[01:53.035] Big Bad John
[01:56.254]
[01:57.848] And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
[02:03.226] Then a miner yelled out there's a light up above
[02:08.179] And its twenty men scrambled from a would be grave
[02:13.516] There was only one left down there to save
[02:21.087] Big John
[02:26.239] Big John
[02:31.240]
[02:31.652] With jacks and timbers they started back down
[02:34.424] Then came that rumble way down in the ground
[02:36.884] And the smoke and gas belched out of that mine
[02:39.650] Everybody knew it was the end of the line for John
[02:46.482]
[02:54.804] Now they never reopened that worthless pit
[02:59.768] They just placed a marble stand in front of it
[03:05.157] And these few words are written on that stand
[03:10.346] At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man
[03:17.468] Big John
[03:19.586] Big John
[03:23.302] Big Bad John
[03:27.423] Big John...
[03:35.051] Big Bad John...
