Big John's Memorial
Big John's Memorial
A sculpture of Big Bad John, made famous by the 1961 Jimmy Dean song "Big Bag John".
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breath their last cept John
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' timber and gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone Big John
From the Miners Hall of Fame, Leadville Colorado
