Every morning at the mine
You could see him arrive

He stood 6 foot 6
and weighed 245
Nobody seemed to know

Where John called home

He just drifted into town
And stayed all alone

Big bad John
Nobody seemed to know

Where John called home

He just drifted into town
And stayed all alone
Somebody said he came
from New Orleans

Where he got in a fight over
a Cajun Queen
Then came the day at the
bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked
and men started cryin'

Big bad John
Then came the day at the
bottom of the mine

When a timber cracked
and men started cryin'

And with all of his'strength
He gave a mighty shove
And the'in a miner yelled Out
There's a light up above!
