Karaoke Track: Big Bad John by Jimmy Dean (Nikkodo) - Karaoke Nerds

(BIG JOHN, BIG JOHN, MMM

BIG JOHN)
(BIG JOHN, BIG JOHN, MMM

BIG JOHN)

NOBODY SEEMED TO
KNOW WHERE JOHN
CALLED HOME, HE JUST
DRIFTED INTO TOWN AND
STAYED THERE ALL ALONE

HE DIDIW T SAY MUCH
A-KINDA QUIET AND SHY
IF YOU SPOKE AT ALL
YOU JUST SAID HI
T0 BIG JOHN

SOMEBODY SAID HE CAME
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

(BIG JOHN, BIG JOHN, MMM

BIG JOHN)
(BIG JOHN, BIG JOHN, MMM

BIG JOHN)

MINERS WERE PRAYING AND
HEARTS BEAT FAST
AND EVERYBODY THOUGHT
THAT THEWD BREATHED
THEIR LAST TEPT JOHN

(BIG JOHN, BIG JOHN, MMM

BIG JOHN)
(BIG JOHN, BIG JOHN, MMM

BIG JOHN)

AND TWENTY MEN SCRAMBLED
FROM A WOULD-BE GRAVE
AND NOW THERES ONLY ONE
LEFT DOWN THERE TO SAVE
BIG JOHN

AND SMOKE AND GAS
BELCHED OUT OF THAT MINE
EVERYBODY KNEW IT WAS
THE END OF THE LINE
FOR BIG JOHN

(BIG JOHN, BIG JOHN, MMM

BIG JOHN)
(BIG JOHN, BIG JOHN, MMM

BIG JOHN)

NOW THEY NEVER REOPENED
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 A
BIG, BIG MAN, BIG JOHN

(BIG JOHN, BIG JOHN, MMM

BIG JOHN...)
(BIG JOHN, BIG JOHN, MMM

BIG JOHN...)
