“Big Bad John” is a country song originally performed by Jimmy Dean and composed by Dean and Roy Acuff. Released in September 1961, by the beginning of November it went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and won Dean the 1962 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording.
The song and its sequel tell a story typical of American folklore, reminiscent of Paul Bunyan or John Henry.
Big Bad John was also the title of a 1990 television movie starring Dean.
The song tells the story of a mysterious and quiet miner who earned the nickname Big John because of his height, weight and muscular physique (“He stood six foot six and weighed two forty-five”).
