Stormy Weather Lyrics
Don't know why There's no sun up in the sky Stormy weather Since my gal and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time Life is bare Gloom and misery everywhere Stormy

Big John
Big John
Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
Everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John
Big John
Big John
Big Bad John

If ya spoke at all, ya just said hi to Big John
Somebody said he came from New Orleans

Grabbed the saggin' timber and gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree, just stood there alone, Big John
