  Every m  oning at the mine you could see him arri  ve
  He stood s  ix foot six and weighed 245   
  Kinda b  road at the shoulder and narrow at the hi  p
  And e  verybody knew you didn't give no li  p to Big Joh  n.
  Big J  ohn, Big J  aw--wo  n, Big Bad Joh  n.
  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
  Refrain
  Then c  ame one day at the bottom of the mi  ne
  When a t  imber cracked and the men started cr  ying
    Miners were paraying and their hearts beat   fast
  And e  verybody thought they'd breathed their la  st 'cept Joh  n
  Through the d  ust and the smoke of this man made He  ll
  Walked a g  iant of a man that the miners knew we  ll
  Grabbed a s  agging timber and gave out with a gr  oan
  And like a g  iant oak tree just stood there alo  ne Big Joh  n
  Big J  ohn, Big J  aw--wo  n, Big Bad Joh  n
  With a  ll of his strength he gave a mighty sh  ove
  Then a m  iner yelled out "There's a light up abo  ve
  And 2  0 men scrambled from w would be gr  ave
  Now there's o  nly one left down there to sa  ve Big Joh  n
  With j  acks and timbers they started back do  wn
  Then c  ame that rumble way down in the gr  ound
  And s  moke and gas belched from outta that mi  ne
    Everybody knew it was the end of the   line for Big J  ohn
  Big J  ohn, Big Ja  w--won  , Big Bad John  .
    
 
 
  Now 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".
  Refrain
