Carbon Leaf - Big Strong Man Lyrics
All we have to say,
Is have another drink, boys, well have one with me
We're home from the sea, yes, we're back on the shore
And if you get too drunk, boys, in this company
Have another drink, boys, well have one with me
We're home from the sea, yes, we're back on the shore
And if you get too drunk, boys, in this company
You'll roar 'round Cape Horn and the Rory O'Mor. [x3]
Have you heard about the big strong man
He lived in a caravan
Have you heard about the Jeffrey Johnson fight
Oh lord what a hell of a fight
You got a lad that can beat the whole lot (Whole lot!)
He use to play all the bells in the belfry,
Now he's going to fight Jack Dempsey.
That's my brother Sylvest (What's he got?)
He's got a row of fourty medals on his chest (Big chest!)
He killed fifty capmen in the West,
He knows no rest, kind of the man, hellfire
Don't push, don't shove, plenty of room for you and me
He's got an arm like a leg,
And a fist that would sink a battle ship
Takes all the Army and the Navy
To put the wind up Sylvest
He thought he'd take a trip to Italy
He thought that he'd go by sea,
He dived off the harbor at New York
And he swam like a man from cork
He saw the Lusitania in distress (What did he do?)
Put the big ship Lusitania on his chest (Big chest!)
He drank all the water in the sea
And he walked all the way to Italy.
That's my brother Sylvest (What's he got?)
He's got a row of fourty medals on his chest (Big chest!)
He killed fifty capmen in the West,
He knows no rest, kind of the man, hellfire
Don't push, don't shove, plenty of room for you and me
He's got an arm like a leg,
And a fist that would sink a battle ship
Takes all the Army and the Navy
To put the wind up Sylvest
He thought he'd take a trip to old Japan.
They brought out the whole brass band.
He played every instrument they got
what a lad he played the whole lot.
The old church bell will ring (will ring)
The old Church choir did sing (will sing)
They all turned out to wish him best
My big brother, Sylvest.
That's my brother Sylvest (What's he got?)
He's got a row of fourty medals on his chest (Big chest!)
He killed fifty capmen in the West,
He knows no rest, kind of the man, hellfire
Don't push, don't shove, plenty of room for you and me
He's got an arm like a leg,
And a fist that would sink a battle ship
Takes all the Army and the Navy
To put the wind up Sylvest
Yeah, that's my brother Sylvest
He's got a row of fourty medals on his chest (Big chest!)
He killed fifty capmen in the West,
He knows no rest, kind of the man, hellfire
Don't push, don't shove, plenty of room for you and me
