tin Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Has to be "It's Akinde Magic", surely. Beat me to it. That's what the Ebbsfleet fans sang apparently so we need to work on this one to adapt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderHider Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 On the Ebbs forum they said to try and continue the 'Big John' song. could you please continue the Fleet tradition of the crescendoing 'Big John, Big John, Big John!!!' chant? Invented with infinite wit and wisdom by myself on a cold awayday at Stafford last December, it would warm my heart to hear it ringing around Ashton Gate on Match of the Day in a couple of years. Well, it'll be hard to type the tune, but it starts off on a very low tone and gets higher- 'Big John, Big John, Big John!!!' Before then going from high to low 'Big John, Big John, Big John, Big John...'. I can give you my number and sing it down the phone if it ensures the chant won't die? it's a bit like the tune of Amazing Grace. Thoughts at all, Anyone know this one? or do i have to call up this Ebbsfleet fan so he can sing it to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Anyone know this one? All time classic by the great Johnny Cash:- Big John Big John Every mornning at the mine, you could see him arrive. He stood 6 foot 6, weighed 245. Kind of broad at the shoulders, narrow at the hip. And everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John. Big John Big John Big Bad John Big John Nobody seemed to know where John called home He just drifted into town and stayed all alone. He didn't say much, kind of quiet and shy And if you spoke at all, you'd just said hi to Big John. Somebody said he came from New Orleans, Where he got into a fight over a Cajun Queen. And a crash and a blow from a huge right hand, sent a Lousiana fella to the promise land. Big John Big John Big bad John Big John Then came the day at the bottom of the mine, when a timber cracked and men started crying. Minors were praying, and hearts beat fast and everybody thought they had breathed thier last cept' John. Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell, walked a giant of a man that the minors knew well. Grabbed a sagging timber and gave out with a groan, and like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, Big John Big John Big John Big Bad John Big John And with all of his strength, he gave a mighty shove. Then a minor yelled out, 'theres a light up above!'. And 20 men scrambled from a 'would be' grave now theres only one left down there to save, Big John. With jacks and timbers, they started back down, then came that rumble way down in the ground. And as smoke and gas smelched out of that mine, everybody knew it was the end of the line, for Big John. Big John Big John Big Bad John Big John Now they never re-opend that wortheless pit, they just placed a marble stand in front of it. These few words are written on that stand, 'At the bottom of this mine, lies one Hell of a man, Big John' Big John Big John Big Bad John Big John.

Bob4Jane Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 This will be the one of the best songs to ring around the Gate since the Wurzels made songs about us. I'm making the trip to bristol soon, and I just hope he's at least on the bench so i can get this one going! Spread the word! big Bad John's in town!

Covered by Johnny Cash according to many websites albeit some discussion whether he truly did. I'm sure it was on one of his albums; i'll have to get up the ole mans loft !!
