Little Bitty Big John lyrics

When he was 12 years old

He wore a 13 shoe

A little bitty big John

(Little Bitty Big John)

A little bitty big John

He could do more work than a man could do

A little bitty big John

(Little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John

Well he told that his momma was a cajun queen

And his daddy was the strongest man that you've ever seen

Had the manner of his momma and the muscles of his dad

A little bitty big John

(Little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John

Ohhhhhhh

Ohhh

Ohhhhhh

When he turned 16 he was a fine young chap

A little bitty big John

(Little bitty big john)

A little bitty big John

And everybody said he's a picture of his pap

A little bitty big John

(Little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John

He heard all his life about "Big Bad John"

And about the many things that "Big John" done

Then somebody said he was "Big John's" son

A little bitty big John

(little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John

ohhh

ohh

ohhhh

Well John called a train and he left town a flyin'

A little bitty big John

(little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John

Said i'm gonna find my pappy or I'm gonna die tryin'

A little bitty big John

(Little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John

Well he landed in a town where they dug for coal

Went a walking down the street with an easy stroll

And an old miner said well bless my soul

It's the ghost of "Big John"

(Little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John

ohhhhh

ohhhh

The old miner ran but he caught him in the street

A little bitty big John

{Little bitty big John}

A little bitty big John

Stuck out his hand

Said "I think we ot2 meet"

A little bitty big John

(Little bitty big john)

A little bitty big John

When they finally got to talkin' it was kind of sad

cause the old fella' told em all about his dad

said he didn't even know that "Big John" had

A little bitty big John

(Little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John

ohhh

ohhhhh

The miner took his hand and he walked out of town

A little bitty big John

(Little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John

Showed that hole way down in the ground

Ta little bitty big John

(Little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John

John stood alookin' with his hat in his hand

Slowly read the word on the marble stand

And he said "Yes sir, My daddy was a big, big man" said

A little bitty big John

(Little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John

A little bitty big John

(Little bitty big John)

A little bitty big John
