	Big John
	Big John
	Ev'ry mornin' 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
	(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, 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 men started cryin'
	Miners were prayin' 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 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)
	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 lies a big, big man, Big John
	(Big John, Big John)
	Big Bad John
	(Big John)
	(Big John)
	Big Bad John
