Big Man Down Songtext
von The Bayonets

He was strong as fifty horses
Bigger than a country pine
The first time I saw the big man walkin′
He was shinin' like a brand new dime
He was an uptown lady killer
And a downtown throw-down man
He would give you a light or finish your fight
If you needed a helpin′ hand

Now he ain't been the same
He don't answer to his name
The lights went dim now he ain′t him
People suppose but nobody knows
What brought the big man down

Now some say he crossed the devil
And that′s how he lost his soul
Whatever it was turned him to dust
Like a diamond into coal


Now he ain't been the same
He don′t answer to his name
The lights went dim now he ain't him
People suppose but nobody knows
What brought the big man down

Now no one′s got the answer
Why the wicked cold wind blows
And there was no screamin'
But some say a demon
Turned him to a ghost

Now he ain′t been the same
He don't answer to his name
The lights went dim now he ain't him
People suppose but nobody knows, nobody knows
What brought the big man down

It′s a damn shame
Lights are on
But ain′t no one home
Some say it was a demon
But nobody really knows
