Big bad pudding
Big bad pudding
Ev'ry mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six foot six and weighed 245
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew, ya didn't give no lip to Big bad
Big Bad pudding
(Big bad pudding)
Nobody seemed to know where Justin called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, he kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, he just said, "Hi" to Big bad puddin
Somebody said he came from marion county
Where he got in a fight over a drunk getting rowdy
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a fellow to the Promised Land, Big bad pudding
Big Bad pudding
(Big bad pudding)
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a jaw die cracked and men started cryin'
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'cept Justin
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Grabbed a saggin' die, gave out with a groan
And like a giant Oak tree, he just stood there alone, Big bad pudding
Big Bad pudding
(Big bad pudding)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Then a miner yelled out, "There's a light up above"
And 20 men scrambled from a would-be grave
Now there's only one left down there to save, Big pudding
With jacks and timbers they started back down
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big bad pudding
Big bad pudding
(Big bad pudding)
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 bad pudding
Big Bad pudding
(Big bad pudding)
(Big bad pudding)
Big Bad pudding
