Big Man in Town - John Lloyd Young

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, darling, don’t cry over me

I’ll be a big man in town (honest, honey)

I’ll be a big man in town (promise, darling)

I’ll be a big man in town, just you wait and see:

You’ll be proud of me

They think that I’m a rover

But my roving days are over

Someday 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

I’ll be a big man in town (honest, honey)

I’ll be a big man in town (promise, darling)

I’ll be a big man in town, just you wait and see

You’ll be proud of me

I’m gonna make it, just wait and see

I’m gonna make it, just wait and see

Just wait and see

Girl, I’m gonna make it, just wait and see
