《Big Bad John》歌词

[00:00:00] Big Bad John (大坏蛋约翰) - The Academy Allstars

[00:00:09] Ev'ry morning at the mine you could see him arrive

[00:00:12] He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five

[00:00:14] Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip

[00:00:17] And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big John

[00:00:23] (Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

[00:00:34] Nobody seemed to know where John called home

[00:00:37] He just drifted into town and stayed all alone

[00:00:40] He didn't say much kinda quiet and shy

[00:00:42] And if you spoke at all you just said "Hi" to Big John

[00:00:49] Somebody said he came from New Orleans

[00:00:51] Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen

[00:00:54] And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand

[00:00:57] Sent a Loosiana fellow to the Promised Land-Big John

[00:01:02] (Big John Big John) Big Bad John

[00:01:14] Then came the day at the bottom of the mine

[00:01:17] When a timber cracked and men started cryin'

[00:01:20] Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast

[00:01:23] And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last-'cept John

[00:01:28] Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell

[00:01:31] Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well

[00:01:34] Grabbed a saggin' timber gave out with a groan

[00:01:37] And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone-Big John

[00:01:43] (Big John Big John) Big Bad John

[00:01:54] And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove

[00:01:57] Then a miner yelled out "There's a light up above "

[00:02:00] And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave

[00:02:03] Now there's only one left down there to save-Big John

[00:02:09] With jacks and timbers they started back down

[00:02:11] Then came that rumble way down in the ground

[00:02:14] And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine

[00:02:17] Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John

[00:02:22] (Big John Big John) Big Bad John

[00:02:34] Now they never reopened that worthless pit

[00:02:37] They just placed a marble stand in front of it

[00:02:40] These few words are written on that stand

[00:02:45] At the bottem of this mine lies one hell of a man big john

[00:02:54] (Big John Big John) Big Bad John

[00:03:03] Big John Big John Big John Big Bad John
