Jimmy Dean

Jimmy Ray Dean (August 10, 1928 – June 13, 2010) was an American country music singer, television host, actor and businessman. Although he may be best known today as the creator of the Jimmy Dean sausage brand, he became a national television personality starting in 1957, rising to fame for his 1961 country crossover hit "Big Bad John" and his television series, The Jimmy Dean Show, which also gave puppeteer Jim Henson his first national media exposure. His acting career included a supporting role as Willard Whyte in the 1971 James Bond movie, Diamonds Are Forever. He lived near Richmond, Virginia, and was nominated for the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010, although he was formally inducted posthumously. more »

Wagon train, mile-long train
Four hundred mules, six hundred men
They didn't know the devil was in
This mile-long train, wagon train

A man in black, no one knew his name
He was a devil for sure, leading that train
He said all you miners, mule-skinners too
Fifteen days I'll save for you
You see that plain, those mountains there
I'll take you across, ha ha ha, if you dare

Wagon train, mile-long train
Four hundred mules, six hundred men
They didn't know the devil was in
This mile-long train, wagon train (hee-yah!)

Now the only way out was the way they came in
And the shifting sand covered tracks where they've been
So one by one, they all died of thirst
And the the devil just laughed, at his mile-long hearse

That's where the name
Death Valley began
For there's no way out and only one way in

Wagon train, mile-long train
Four hundred mules, six hundred men
They didn't know the devil was in
This mile-long train, wagon train (hee-yah!)
Mile-long train, wagon train (hee-yah!)
