Big big big Foot there's nothin' you can't do Big big big foot Missouri's proud of you
Down in the cotton country a Big Foot boy was born The doctor told his ma and pa he'd be tall as indian corn When he was only two years old he pulled a cotton sack He'd pick a row of cotton leave an acre full of tracks
He backed up to see his foot prints down in that bottom land Backed up so far he found himself halfway to Alabam And when it came to breakin' ground Big Foot would show 'em how He'd hitch a mule to both his shoes and use them for a plow

One summer it began to rain it poured for weeks and weeks And everybody knew the Mississip had reached her peak Word came from Cape Geraldo a flood was on the way And it would cover Caruthersville before the break of day
The town began to panic everybody on the run They all headed for Crawley's Ridge all except one Big Foot tossed them sand bags and you could hear him cry Ya'll don't worry about a thing I'll save the town or die
Big big big Foot there's nothin' you can't do...
The rain it kept a coming down the river comin' up The Mississip was raging now and things were gettin' rough Then suddenly it happened the levy it broke through But Big Foot held that river back with one of his big shoes
When everything was over the folks came back to town But the only trace of Big Foot was his foot prints on the ground Some say that he's still livin' workin' on a river boat But the only thing they ever found was two big shoes afloat
