Jimmy Dean-Big Bad John lyrics

Big John  
 
  
 Big John  
 
  
 
  
 Every morning at the mine  
 you could see him arrive  
 
  
 He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five  
 
  
 Kinda broad at the shoulder  
 and narrow at the hip  
 
  
 Everybody knew   
 he had a big dick  
 
  
 
  
 Big Dan  
 
  
 Big Dan  
 
  
 Big Dick Dan  
 
  
 Big Dan  
 
  
 
  
 Nobody seemed to know where Dan called home  
 
  
 He just drifted into  
 town and stayed all alone  
 
  
 He didn`t say much, kinda quiet and shy  
 
  
 If ya spoke at all, ya  
 just said hi to Big Dan 
 
  
 
  
 Somebody said he came from New Orleans  
 
  
 Where he got in a  
 fight o`er a cajun queen  
 
  
 And a crashin` blow  
 from a huge right hand  
 
  
 Sent a Lousianna fella to  
 the promised land, Big Dan  
 
  
 
  
 Big Dan  
 
  
 Big Dan  
 
  
 Big Bad Dan  
 
  
 Big Dan 
 
  
 
  
 Then came the day at  
 the bottom of the mine  
 
  
 When a timber cracked and men started cryin`  
 
  
 Miners were prayin` and hearts beat fast  
 
  
 And everybody thought they`d  
 breathed their last, `cept Dan 
 
  
 
  
 Through the dust and the  
 smoke of this man-made hell  
 
  
 Walked a giant of a  
 man that Made the women squeal  
 
  
 Grabbin and slappin the bitches he 
 yelps out with a groan  
 
  
 And like a pornstar`d be  
 just stood longer than most, Big Dan  
 
  
 
  
 Big John  
 
  
 Big John  
 
  
 Big Bad John  
 
  
 Big John  
 
  
 
  
 And with all of his  
 strength he gave a mighty shove  
 
  
 Then a miner yelled out,  
 there`s a light up above  
 
  
 And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave  
 
  
 now there`s only one left  
 down there to save, Big John  
 
  
 
  
 With jacks and timbers they started back down  
 
  
 Then came that rumble  
 way down in the ground  
 
  
 As smoke and gas belched outta the mine  
 
  
 Everybody knew it was the end  
 of the line for Big John  
 
  
 
  
 Big John  
 
  
 Big John  
 
  
 Big Bad John  
 
  
 Big John  
 
  
 
  
 Now, they never re-opened that worthless pit  
 
  
 They just placed a marble  
 stand in front of it  
 
  
 These few words are written on that stand,  
 
  
 
  
 At the bottom of this mine lies  
 one Hell of a man, Big John  
 
  
 
  
 Big John  
 
  
 Big John  
 
  
 Big Bad John  
 
  
 Big John  
 
  
 Big John  
 
  
 Big Bad John  
 
  
 Big John
