(Big John, Big John)

Big John, won’t you come on home?

Ain’t you gonna marry me?

My folks all wanna know

When the weddin’s gonna be

They’re makin' plans, shakin' hands

Been waitin' so long

There’s somethin' goin' wrong

Big John, if you don’t come home

I’m gonna have to leave this place

My folks know you’ve jilted me

I’m ashamed to show my face

They’re makin' plans, shakin' hands

Been waitin' so long

There’s somethin' goin' wrong

They all told me 'bout the things you do

If what they told me is true

They all said that I’d soon find out

I’m wastin' my kisses on you

There’s somethin' goin' wrong

(repeat, then 2)

(Big John)

Been waitin' so long

(Big John)

There’s somethin' goin' wrong

(Big John)

…& fade
