Big John Davy was a mighty man.
Oh, way back in the Gulf of Mexico
Ran clear up into the Ohio
with his buffalo horn
to New Orleans
Oh, Big John Davy was a -goin' to mill
In the middle of the road he met Pecos Bill
When Big John Davy got a little bit dry
He grabbed the big dipper
where she hung in the sky
he made his brew
Mountain Clan,
Oh, Big John Davy had a sweet little wife
He loved her better than
he loved his own life
Mountain Clan,
Oh, Big John Davey was a -chasin' a fox
He met Paul Bunyan and his old blue ox
F
C
The old blue ox started
the old yaller hound
Here they went with a bale and a ball
Chased old Red Dale
away in the fall
kept a -leadin' old blue
Mountain trails,
C
short and hard to back around a -tellin' big tales
Oh, no one knows what
ever became of
Big John Davy, that man of fame
F
C
The fiddlers a -playin' round
back in the hills
King of the Ozark Mountain
Big John Davy was a mighty man
