Big Strong Man Lyrics & Tabs by The Jolly Beggarmen
Big Strong Man
guitar chords lyrics
Have you heard about the big strong man?
well he lives in the caravan
have you heard about the Jeffrey Johnson fight
well lordy what a hell of a fight
you can take every heavyweight you've got
we've got a lad who can beat the whole lot
well he used to ring the bells in the belfry, now he's gonna fight jack dempsey...
He was my brother sylvest (what's he got?)
A row of 40 medals on his chest (big chest)
Well he killed fifty badmen in the west
he knows no rest, thinkin' a man's hell fire
don't push just shove plenty room for you and me
he's got an arm like a leg
and a punch that can sink a battleship (big ship)
Well it takes all the army and the navy to put the wind up sylvest.
he's got an arm like a leg
and a punch that can sink a battleship (big ship)
Well it takes all the army and the navy to put the wind up sylvest.
Well he thought he'd take a trip to Italy.
and he thought he'd go by sea
well he jumped off the harbour in new York
and he swam like a man made of cork
he saw the lusitania in distress (what'd he do?)
Well he put the lusitania on his chest
drank up all the water in the sea and he walked all the way to Italy.
He was my brother sylvest (what's he got)
A row of 40 medals on his chest (big chest)
Well he killed fifty badmen in the west
he knows no rest thinkin' a man's hell fire
don't push just shove plenty of room for you and me
he's got an arm like a leg
and a punch that can sink a battleship (big ship)
Well it takes all the army and the navy to put the wind up sylvest
Well he thought he'd take a trip to old Japan
and they turned out the whole brass band
well he played every instrument they got
he played the whole lot
well the old church bells were ringing (hells bells)
The old church choir were singing (hells choir)
They all turned out to say farewell to my big brother sylvest
He was my brother sylvest (what's he got)
A row of 40 medals on his chest (big chest)
Well he killed fifty badmen in the west
he knows no rest thinkin' a man's hell fire
don't push just shove plenty of room for you and me
he's got an arm like a leg
and a punch that can sink a battleship (big ship)
Well it takes all the army and the navy to put the wind up sylvest
