...is everyone's favorite earworm:
He grabbed a saggin' timber and gave a mighty shove.
A miner cried out, "There's a light up above!"
and thirty men scrambled from a would-be grave.
Now, there's only one left down there to save,
and that's John.
Big John
Big Bad John!
ooo-ooo
Well, with jacks and timbers they started back down
then came that rumble way down in the ground.
And smoke and gas belched outa that mine,
and ever'body knowed it was the end of the line
for Big John.
Big John
Big Bad John!
ooo-ooo
Well they never reopened that worthless pit
just placed a marble stand in front of it.
And these few words are written on that stand:
"At the Bottom of This Mine Lies a Big, Big Man,
Big John."
Big John
Big Bad John! |
