Big Boy Pete

Wow

The joint was a jumpin' on the corner

Down on a honky tonk street

When all of a sudden up drove a Cadillac

Out stepped a cat named Pete

Diamonds on a every finger

He wore a tailor-made suit

He smoked a black cigar, he wore a Stetson hat

He wore a pair of cowboy boots

He busted on through the doorway

Just as bad as he can be

He pulled out his pistol and turned around

He said, "My name is a Big Boy Pete"

The music stopped, there wasn't a sound

Over in a corner stood Bad Man Brown

Brown smiled and grinned, he said, "My friend

Come three steps farther, and I'll do you in"

Now, Pete, said, "A look a here, buddy

Before I tan your hide

I got a .45 to keep me alive

And seven bullets on my side"

Brown pulled a knife, he jumped on Pete

They fought from the counter, right out to the street

They swung from north, they swung from south

Brown cut that black cigar right outta Pete's mouth

Brown slipped around behind poor Pete

Cut him from his head right on down to his feet

Pete hit the ground, he yelled and screamed

Pete took his Stetson hat and flee the scene

Now, if you're ever down on the corner

Down on a honky tonk street

Don't mess with Brown, he'll cut you down

Take a lesson from Big Boy Pete

Wow
