Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Big John, Big John
Big John, won't you come on home
Ain't you gonna marry me?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
My folks all wanna know
When the wedding's gonna be
They're making plans, shaking hands
Been waiting so long
Has something gone wrong?
Big John, if you don't come home
Gonna have to leave this place
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Folks know you've jilted me
I'd be 'shamed to show my face
They're making plans, shaking hands
Been waiting so long
Has something gone wrong?
They all told me that the things you do
If what they told me is true
They all said that I'd soon find out
Wasting my kissеs on you
Has something gone wrong?
They all told mе that the things you do
If what they told me is true
They all said that I'd soon find out
Wasting my kisses on you
Come on, come on, Big John, if you don't come home
Gonna have to leave this place
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd be 'shamed to show my face
They're making plans, shaking hands
Been waiting so long
Has something gone wrong?
(Big John) Been waiting so long
(Big John) Has something gone wrong?
(Big John) Come on
