The Biggest Whatever Songtext
von The Dillards

And I was standing just about here
Looking towards the road, yonder
When I′d seen it
I threw that thing as far that camera you see
And I called my wife, and I said
"Step out here and tell me what this is"
And she says, "Well, what in the world"

It was Old Joe Wiggins while returnin' a jam jar
The Bessiemae Hootin′s pa's place
About a mile out of town on the West Plains Road
He disappeared without a trace

They discovered his teeth
When the County Police, who made an investigation of the case
And cousin Belle Simmons said that
Sheriff Cartwright had the strangest look on his face


It was the biggest whatever that anybody ever saw
It was covered with fur and come a-rollin' in from Arkansas
It was 40 feet high, had a gleam in its eye
And a big purple patch on its craw
It was the biggest whatever that anybody ever saw

I saw old man Huntsel, who′s a hundred and four
Yesterday at Ida Jaffet′s house
He said, "It's much bigger now than when it carried off my cow
But it′s not enough to worry about"

He said,"Back before the war, there were a whole lot more
But they never came this far south"
He said, "I don't mind seein′ one from time to time
But I hope it's ain′t its regular route"

It was the biggest whatever that anybody ever saw
It was covered with fur and come a-rollin' in from Arkansas
It was 40 feet high, a gleam in its eye
And a big purple patch on its craw
It was the biggest whatever that anybody ever saw

It was the biggest whatever that anybody ever saw
