lyrics
They call him Big Whisper
They called him Iron Train
They called him the one when he brought down the rain
He's the one, he's the man, they call him Big Whisper
He's a heartbreaker
And a name taker
Got a notch on his arm for every man he's killed
He's the one, he's the man, they call him Big Whisper
Big Whisper, he's a gun totin' son of a bitch
If you get in his way,
He might not hesitate
He's a gun totin'
And he's soft spoken
He can empty the room with a twitch of his little finger
He's the one, he's the man, they call him Big Whisper
He's a whiskey drinker
But a clear thinker
Don't get in the way of his double .45s
He's the one, he's the man, they call him Big Whisper
Big Whisper, he's a gun totin' son of a bitch
If you get in his way,
He might not hesitate
They called him Big Whisper
They called him Iron Train
He met his demise when he brought down the rain
He's the one, he's the man, they called him Big Whisper
Big Whisper, Big Whisper, Big Whisper
Big
Whisper
