Nobody
seemed
to
know
where
John
called
home
He
just
drifted
into
town
and
stayed
all
alone
He
didn't
say
much
he
kinda
quiet
and
shy
And
if
he
spoke
at
all

just
said
He
to
Big

Somebody
said
he
came
from
New
Orleans
Where
he
got
in
a
fight
over
a
Cajun
Queen
And
a
crashin
blow
from
a

Sent
a
Louisiana

to
the
Promised
Land
Big

Then
came
the
day
at
the
bottom
of
the
mine
When
a
timber
cracked
and
men
started
cryin
Miners
were
prayin
and
hearts
beat
fast
And
everybody
thought
that
they'd
breathed
their
last
except
John
Through
the
dust
and
and
the
smoke
of
this
man
made
hell
Walked
a
giant
of
a
man
the
miners
knew
well
Grabbed
a
saggin
timber
gave
out
with
a
groan
And
like
a
giant
oak
tree
he
just
stood
there
alone
Big
John
Big
John
Big
John
Big
Bad
John
Big
John
And
with
all
of
this
strength
he
gave
a
mighty
shove
Then
a
miner
yelled
out
There's
a
light
up
above
And
twenty
men
scrambled
from
a
would
be
grave
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
as
smoke
and
gas
belched
out
of
that
mine
Everybody
knew
it
was
the
end
of
the
line
for
Big
John
Big
John
Big
John
Big
Bad
John
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
