《The Switch》歌词

[00:00:00] Big John big John

[00:00:12] Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive

[00:00:14] He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five

[00:00:15] Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip

[00:00:16] And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to big John

[00:00:18] Big John big John

[00:00:22] Big bad John

[00:00:22] Big John

[00:00:23] Nobody seemed to know where John called home

[00:00:24] He just drifted into town and stayed all alone

[00:00:25] He didn't say much kinda quiet and shy

[00:00:33] And if you spoke at all you just said hi to Big John

[00:00:34] Somebody said he came from New Orleans

[00:00:35] Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen

[00:00:45] And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand

[00:00:46] Sent a Louisiana fellow to the promised land big John

[00:00:50] Big John big John

[00:01:04] Big bad John

[00:01:05] Big John

[00:01:06] Then came the day at the bottom of the mine

[00:01:07] When a timber cracked and men started cryin'

[00:01:08] Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast

[00:01:11] And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last 'cept John

[00:01:12] Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell

[00:01:13] Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well

[00:01:14] Grabbed a saggin' timber gave out with a groan

[00:01:15] And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone big John

[00:01:17] Big John big John

[00:01:18] Big bad John

[00:01:21] Big John

[00:01:21] And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove

[00:01:23] Then a miner yelled out there's a light up above

[00:01:23] And twenty men scrambled from a would be grave

[00:01:27] Now there's only one left down there to save big John

[00:01:29] With jacks and timbers they started back down

[00:01:30] Then came that rumble way down in the ground

[00:01:31] And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine

[00:01:32] Everybody knew it was the end of the line for big John

[00:01:33] Big John big John

[00:01:34] Big bad John

[00:01:34] Big John

[00:01:34] Now they never reopened that worthless pit

[00:01:35] They just placed a marble stand in front of it

[00:01:36] These few words are written on that stand

[00:01:37] At the bottom of this mine lies a big big man

[00:01:38] Big John

[00:01:38] Big John big John

[00:01:38] Big bad John

[00:01:39] Big John

[00:01:39] Big John

[00:01:39] Big bad John
