lyrics

John was born in mid July
To a teenage mother with a glass-eye
Only four pounds, not an once more
Who would care for the son of a whore

At the age of twelve he was six feet tall
Raised in an orphanage in Montreal
He was always so found of the American dream
He spent all his nights hatching his scheme

John the giant, as gentle as can be
Joined our circus at the age of twenty-three
Over eight feet tall and four hundred pounds
He joined my circus in the underground

John the Giant was the best
He followed his dream here to the west
Until the day that he fell ill
Pneumonia took him; it was god’s will

John the giant, as gentle as can be
Joined our circus at the age of twenty-three
Over eight feet tall and four hundred pounds
He joined my circus in the underground
