Big Ron, Big Ron)
Ev'ry mornin' at the shop you could see him arrive
He stood six foot one and weighed two forty five
Kinda broad at the shoulder with a head wide as his hips
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big Ron.
(Big Ron, Big Ron) Big Bad Ron (Big RON)
Nobody seemed to know where Ron called home
He just drifted into Minnesota and took it for his own
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said "Hi" to Big Ron.
Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Pearlesent Queen
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Loosiana fellow to the Promised Land-Big Ron
(Big Ron, Big Ron) Big Bad Ron (Big Ron)
Then came the day at the bottom of the shop
When a cage cracked and men started cryin'
workers were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last-'cept Ron
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the workers knew well
Grabbed a saggin' cage, gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone-Big Ron
(Big Ron, Big Ron) Big Bad Ron (Big Ron)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Then a worker yelled out "Ron weve got a lot of love !"
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
Now there's only one left down there to save-Big Ron
With polyethylene and lexane they started back down
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
And then smoke and gas belched out of that shop
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big Ron
(Big Ron Big Ron) Big Bad Ron (Big Ron)
Now they never reopened that worthless pit
They just placed a marble snake in front of it
These few words are written on that stand
At the bottom of this mine lies a heck of man, Big Ron
(Big Ron, Big Ron) Big Bad Ron (Big Ron)
