《Big Bad John》歌词

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

[00:00:01] Big John

[00:00:03] Big John

[00:00:07] Ev'ry 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 Big John

[00:00:19] (Big John 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

[00:00:36] He didn't say much he kinda quiet and shy

[00:00:39] And if you spoke at all he just said "Hi" to Big John

[00:00:44] Somebody said he came from New Orleans

[00:00:47] Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen

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

[00:00:53] Sent a Louisiana fellow to the Promised Land Big John

[00:00:57] (Big John Big John)

[00:01:03] Big Bad John

[00:01:06] (Big John)

[00:01:09] 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

[00:01:17] And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last 'cept John

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

[00:01:25] Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well

[00:01:28] Grabbed a saggin' timber gave out with a groan

[00:01:31] And like a giant Oak tree he just stood there alone Big John

[00:01:35] (Big John Big John)

[00:01:42] Big Bad John

[00:01:44] (Big John)

[00:01:48] And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove

[00:01:50] Then a miner yelled out "There's a light up above"

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

[00:01:56] Now there's only one left down there to save Big John

[00:02:01] With jacks and timbers they started back down

[00:02:04] Then came that rumble way down in the ground

[00:02:07] And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine

[00:02:10] Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John

[00:02:14] (Big John Big John)

[00:02:20] Big Bad John

[00:02:22] (Big John)

[00:02:26] 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 Big John

[00:02:43] (Big John Big John)

[00:02:49] Big Bad John

[00:02:51] (Big John)

[00:02:54] (Big John)

[00:02:57] Big Bad John
