Big Dupree Lyrics - Singles - Bobby Bare

Hoddy Holly was a cajun in the town that I was raised in 

She was something most amazin' to my inexperienced eyes 

But the fact was clearly stated she and Big Dupree was mated 

And a dreadful fate awaited anyone who touched his bride 

Cause he said it loud and clear for all the town to hear 

And he nailed it up for all the town to see 

That the man who puts his hand upon the hand of Hoddy Holly 

Will feel the heavy hand of Big Dupree 

But that dangerous situation worked on my imagination 

And passin' up temptation ain't the thing that I do best 

And you know the way things happened one night Dupree was out trappin' 

And I spent the evening nappin' with her head upon my chest 

Then the roar come from a door six foot four maybe more 

He stood standin' there and starin' right at me 

He said boy you put your hand upon the hand of Hoddy Holly 

Now you'll feel the heavy hand of Big Dupree 

Then crazed by ragin' passion he come dashin' smashin' crashin' 

And I felt his blade come slashin' through my shrieks and screams and groans 

And there just ain't nothin' worse than what he done to my person 

And I spend these evenings a cursin' him in slightly higher tones 

Cause he said it loud and clear... 

I felt the heavy hand of Big Dupree ooh
