《Big Band John》歌词

[00:00:00] Big Band John - Jimmie Dean

[00:00:00] Big John

[00:00:03] Big John

[00:00:06] Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive

[00:00:09] He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five

[00:00:12] Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip

[00:00:15] And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to

[00:00:17] Big John

[00:00:19] Big John big John

[00:00:25] Big bad John

[00:00:28] Big John

[00:00:31] Nobody seemed to know where John called home

[00:00:34] He just drifted into town and stayed all alone

[00:00:37] He didn't say much he kinda quiet and shy

[00:00:40] And if you spoke at all he just said hi to

[00:00:42] Big John

[00:00:45] Somebody said he came from new orleans

[00:00:48] Where he got in a fight over a cajun queen

[00:00:51] And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand

[00:00:53] Sent a louisiana fellow to the promised land

[00:00:56] Big John

[00:00:59] Big John big John

[00:01:04] Big bad John

[00:01:07] Big John

[00:01:10] Then came the day at the bottom of the mine

[00:01:13] When a timber cracked and men started cryin'

[00:01:16] Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast

[00:01:19] And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last 'cept John

[00:01:24] Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell

[00:01:27] Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well

[00:01:30] Grabbed a saggin' timber gave out with a groan

[00:01:32] And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone

[00:01:35] Big John

[00:01:37] Big John big John

[00:01:43] Big bad John

[00:01:46] Big John

[00:01:49] And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove

[00:01:52] Then a miner yelled out there's a light up above

[00:01:55] And twenty men scrambled from a would be grave

[00:01:58] Now there's only one left down there to save big

[00:02:00] John

[00:02:03] With jacks and timbers they started back down

[00:02:06] Then came that rumble way down in the ground

[00:02:09] And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine

[00:02:12] Everybody knew it was the end of the line for big John

[00:02:16] Big John big John

[00:02:22] Big bad John

[00:02:25] Big John

[00:02:28] Now they never reopened that worthless pit

[00:02:31] They just placed a marble stand in front of it

[00:02:34] These few words are written on that stand

[00:02:38] At the bottom of this mine lies a big big man

[00:02:43] Big John

[00:02:45] Big John big John

[00:02:50] Big bad John

[00:02:53] Big John

[00:02:56] Big John
