Ballad
The Legend of Big Mack
Monday morning at the station you could see him arrive
He stood about 6’ 6” and weighed 265
Broad at the shoulder and broad at the hip always with a full pack
The whole world knew, you better not mess with Big Mack
Mack was from South Carolina, Clio to be exact
A natural man, he can run, throw, jump and catch
He was destined to be a lawman, he’s good through and through
At 8, tracked down the tooth fairy, it stole his tooth
Big Mack hit town at 17 to play ball at A and T
When he finished, championship rings numbered three
The NFL came calling, but Mack had to tell them, “No”
Wanted to fight crime, that is why he rejected the show
He joined the force in Spring, on that day it was steaming hot
Big Mac was top of class and a crack shot
The crooks were afraid, Big Mac was a second Bass Reaves
Crime dropped 50%, most bad men had to leave
The Dixie Mafia wanted to fight and chose to stay
Their dark schemes were thriving, too much money in play
The Boss on top gave the order to put Big Mac down
The Dixies wanted to show they still ran the town
The dastardly villains came up with a murderous plan
A bomb on his car and a hitter in a van
Big Mack was sharp and way ahead of the treacherous ones
Detected the bomb and way too fast for the gun
He dodged the 306 bullet and found the shooters lo’
Big Mack closed 250 yards; he still ran 4.4
He caught the evil shooter, it was a heck of a fight
It was tough battle ‘til Mack caught him with the right
After the interrogation, Mack came up with the master plan
Before the raid, he knew who, where, what and when
He called his boys, two good police, Dixon and Roulette
They closed down the Dixie mob like “Three the Hard Way”
56 arrested, Big Mack got a medal and the key
He got the gold shield; it was a great sight to see
Big Mack took a vacation, to Jamaica and Mozambique
There he met his match, she is 6’ 2”, goes by Dominique
It was love at first sight, they are a heavenly pair
She has a great smile and super-long black hair
Dominique is a surfer, and she has a PhD
She is truly one of a kind, if you ask me
Within 3 months, she had proposed marriage, and he said “yes”
They were very happy; you know that they were God blessed
His ring was solid 48 carat gold and her diamond was 20K
They are still happily married to this very day
For 10 years Greensboro was quiet and prosperous
Voted Mack High Sherriff and Chief to protect us
He bought a 100-acre spread, built his family a home and the first of 15 came
Mack was elected Governor, but retired after 1 term, couldn’t tolerate the games
During his time in Raliegh, the Cartel came, and the peace died
A little girl was killed, and Gov. Mack led the SBI
Big Mack gave his good word that he would run the Cartel out
They underestimated him because of their political clout
A man of word, Big Mack went straight to the Cartels source
Invaded the leaders’ home and took him by force
Big Mack flew him back to NC in his own private jet
Put him behind bars, it is something the world will never forget
The Dems and the GOP asked Mack to run for President
He was a man of the people, he rejected another stint
With the Cartel defeated and his job done
Big Mac retired forever, to be with the one
Big Mack and Dominique both lived to be 110
They even left this world together in the end
All 15 of their children did great things, and they were proud
The clan grew, they had 57 grandchildren, unbossed and unbowed
Big Mack
Every morning at the police station you could see him arrive
He stood six-foot-nine and weighed three-fifty-five
KInda a broad at the shoulder and round at the hip
and everybody knew ya' didn’t give no lip - to huge Mack
He came to A&T to play football, and he did it well
At 8 he killed a moccasin and solved a crime, but that is another story to tell
He didn’t say much, kinda quiet & shy
And if you were to speak at all just say “hi”
BIg Mack stood for justice, didn’t fear any man
A giant he stood with a mighty right hand
He didn't cut no slack, not even his own
Which made the people laugh and groan
Throughout his time of working as a police man
Big Mack sought to decrease crime and save the land
Whenever Big Mack came through people would cry
Hearts begin to beat faster than anyone could spire
Kids hate to see Big Mack coming and hate to see him go
You can hear his Ford when his foot hits the floor
It is all over when you see the badge shine
Every badman knew it was the end of the line
Had 15 kids, brought a 30-acre spread
Now, Big Mack has a lot on his head
Played 4 sports & won a medal, his game is tight
Big Mack said, because chief of police for life
Big Mack loved his kids and his beautiful wife
Graduate 1st in class and now loving his life
His goal was for him & his wife to live to be 110
So, he married her & made that begin
Later, he saved Greensboro from the Cartel
But that is another story to tell
The Ballad of Big Mack
Every morning at the station you can see him arrive
He stood 6’4 and weighed around 225
Kind of broad at the shoulder with really big hands
Everybody knew you don’t go band for band - with Big Mack
Everybody knew Big Mac, he was super quiet
He was just there, never ever sighted
If you saw him, he had his trusty G19 on his hip
If he made you look, he was getting you with that trick
Everywhere he goes his hair is brushed
Doesn’t leave without it he make sure to keep it tucked
8 years old when wanted to join the force
Since then, he put himself on the right course
His father was the High Sheriff back in the day
Big Mack wanted to be just like him, cause he didn't play
They wanted Mack for president, but he said “no”
He’d rather stop crimes and tote his pole.
Big mac became the chief, his game was tight
Not just for a while, he became chief for life
Big Mack known as a incredible man
So skilled, he killed a moccasin with his hands
One man by himself, he got rid of the Dixie Mob
He saved A&T from a bomb, became the Aggie heartthrob
Big Mack found a woman and married her after only 3 months
So rich and popular, Big Mack had life long funds
After marriage Mack had 15 kids and bought a 30 acre spread
He raised his kids great and taught them how to make bread
Mack retired from the force he had a great run
Best years of his life he had so much fun
Mack grew old but made sure his kids did great
Birthdays to Anniversaries, he never missed a date
Big Mack and his wife died at 110, we know this for a fact
His kids and his 57 grandchildren made sure to carry the legend of Big Mack
