Every morning at the
mine you cold see

him arrive

He stand 6 food 8 and
weighed 245

And everybody know you

didn't give no lip

to big John

Nobody seemed to know

where John called home
He just drifted into

town and stayed

all alone

He didn't say muchda
quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all

you just said hi to
big John

Somebody said he come
from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight

over a Cajin Queen

And a orash n blow from
a huge right hand

Sent a Louisiana fella
t0 the promised land
Big John

Then came the day at
the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked

and men started crying

Miners were prayint
and hearts heat fast
And everybody thought

that theytd breathed
their last except John

Through the dust and
the smoke of this
man made hell
walked a giant of a man
the miners knew well

And like a giant oak

tree just stood there

alone Big John

And with all of his

strength he gave a

mighty shove

And twenty men scrambled
from a would-he grave
And 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

And the smoke and gas
hedehed euta that mine

And everybody knew it

was the end of the
line for Big John

Now they never reopened
that worthless pit

They just placed a
marble stand in front

of it

At the bottom of this

mine line a big

Big man Big John
