Big man in town
Each day as i grow older
the nights are getting colder
some day the sun will shine on me
Money, i don't have any
i'm down to my last penny
but darlin' don't cry over me
Chorus:
i'll be a big man in town, honest honey
i'll be a big man in town, promise darlin'
i'll be a big man in town, just you wait and see
you'll be proud of me
Big man in town
They think that i'm a rover
but my rovin' days are over
some day your folks will welcome me
i went away a small man
but i'll come home a tall man
then what a pretty bride you'll be
[repeat chorus]
Coda:
(big man in town)
I'm gonna make it, just wait and see
oh, i'm gonna make it, just wait and see
girl i'm gonna make it, just wait and see
