Текст и слова песни Jimmy Cliff – Big Bad John
Big John. Big John.
Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive.
He stood six-foot-six and weighed twofortyfive.
King of broad at the shoulder
At naroow at the hip
And everybody knew you did'nt give no lip to Big John.
Somebody seemed to know where John called home.
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone.
He did'nt say much a kind a quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all
You just said "hi" to Big John.
Big John. Big John. Big John.
Big Bad John.
Nobody 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. Big John.
Big John.
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and the men started craying.
Miners were praying and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last 'cept John.
Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive.

He just drifted into town and stayed all alone.
He did'nt say much a kind a quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all
You just said "hi" to Big John.
Big John. Big John. Big John.
Big Bad John.
Nobody 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. Big John.
Big John.
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and the men started craying.
Miners were praying and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last 'cept John.
