Jimmy Dean - (August 10, 1928 – June 13, 2010) Birth name: Jimmy Ray Dean Birth place: Plainview, Texas Place of death: Varina, Virginia (at 81 years old). Per the notes written on the back of the JIMMY DEAN: BIG BAD JOHN AND OTHER FABULOUS SONGS AND TALES (Columbia LP 1735) record jacket, it states: "Jimmy Dean had been thinking for some time of writing a song about a PAUL BUNYAN-like hero. He began writing the lyrics at home, but never quite finished them, because he had to fly to Nashville, Tennessee for a recording session with veteran Columbia producer, Don Law.

Big Bad John" is a country song originally performed by Jimmy Dean, who wrote and composed in collaboration with Roy Acuff.

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 breathed 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, gave out with a groan And like a giant Oak tree, he just stood there alone, Big John.
