Karaoke Track: Big Bad John by Jimmy Dean (Sweet Georgia Brown) - Karaoke Nerds

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 then a miner yelled out
There's a light up above!

Big bad John

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

With jacks and timbers
They started back down
Then came that rumble
way down in the ground

Now they never reopened
that worthless pit

They just placed a marble
stand in front of it

Big bad John

Now they never reopened
that worthless pit

They just placed a marble
stand in front of it

Big bad John

Big Bad John
