GEvery moning at the mine you could see Fhim arrive
He stood Gsix foot six and weighed 24F5
Kinda Gbroad at the shoulder and narrow at the Fhip
And Geverybody knew you didn't give no Flip to Big GJohn.
Big EmJohn, Big CJaw----Dwon, Big Bad GJohn.
Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
Didn't say much a-kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all you just said high to Big John
Somebody said he came down 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
Chorus. Then Abcame one day at the bottom of the Gbmine
When a Abtimber cracked and the men started Gbcrying
AbMiners were paraying and their hearts beat Gbfast
And Abeverybody thought they'd breathed their Gblast 'cept AbJohn
Through the Abdust and the smoke of this man made GbHell
Walked a Abgiant of a man that the miners knew Gbwell
Grabbed a Absagging timber and gave out with a Gbgroan
And like a Abgiant oak tree just stood there aGblone Big AbJohn
Big FmJohn, Big DbJaw----Ebwon, Big Bad AbJohn
With Aall of his strength he gave a mighty Gshove
Then a Aminer yelled out "There's a light up aGbove
And A20 men scrambled from w would be Ggrave
Now there's Aonly one left down there to Gsave Big AJohn
With Ajacks and timbers they started back Gdown
Then Acame that rumble way down in the Gground
And Asmoke and gas belched from outta that Gmine
AEverybody knew it was the end of the Gline for Big AJohn
Big F#mJohn, Big DJaw----Ewon, Big Bad AJohn.
Return to
GNow they never re-opened that worthless pit
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
These few lines are written on that stand
"At the bottom of this mine, lies one Helluva man.--BIG JOHN".
Chorus.
