《Big Bad John》歌词

[00:00:00] Big Bad John - Jimmy Dean

[00:00:00] Big John

[00:00:03] Big John

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

[00:00:08] He stood six foot six and weighed two forty-five

[00:00:11] Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip

[00:00:14] Everybody knew you didn't give no lip to big John

[00:00:19] Big John

[00:00:22] Big John

[00:00:25] Big bad John

[00:00:27] Big John

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

[00:00:33] He just drifted into town and stayed all alone

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

[00:00:39] If ya spoke at all ya just said hi to big John

[00:00:45] Somebody said he came from New Orleans

[00:00:47] Where he got in a fight o'er a cajun queen

[00:00:50] And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand

[00:00:53] Sent a Lousianna fella to the promised land big John

[00:00:58] Big John

[00:01:01] 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

[00:01:12] When a timber cracked and men started cryin'

[00:01:15] Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast

[00:01:18] And everybody thought they'd breathed their last 'cept John

[00:01:23] Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell

[00:01:26] Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well

[00:01:29] Grabbed the saggin' timber and gave out with a groan

[00:01:31] And like a giant oak tree just stood there alone

[00:01:34] Big John

[00:01:37] Big John

[00:01:40] Big John

[00:01:42] Big bad John

[00:01:45] Big John

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

[00:01:51] Then a miner yelled out there's a light up above

[00:01:53] And twenty men scrambled from a would be grave

[00:01:57] Now there's only one left down there to save

[00:01:59] Big John

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

[00:02:05] Then came that rumble way down in the ground

[00:02:08] As smoke and gas belched outta the mine

[00:02:11] Everybody knew it was the end of the line for big John

[00:02:15] Big John

[00:02:18] Big John

[00:02:21] Big bad John

[00:02:24] Big John

[00:02:27] Now they never reopened that worthless pit

[00:02:29] They just placed a marble stand in front of it

[00:02:32] These few words are written on that stand

[00:02:36] At the bottom of this mine lies a big big man

[00:02:42] Big John

[00:02:44] Big John

[00:02:47] Big John

[00:02:49] Big bad John

[00:02:52] Big John
