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

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'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

'Coz I'm gonna make it

Just wait and see

I'm gonna make it

Wait and see

I'm gonna make it

Just wait and see
