Big Boy Pete Lyrics - Singles - Don & Dewey

Woo, the joint was a jumpin' on the corner 

Down on a honky tonk street 

When all of a sudden up drove a Cadillac 

And out stepped a cat named Pete 

Diamonds on a every finger 

Wore the 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 

Bad as a he can be 

Pulled out his pistol, he turned around 

He said, 'my name is a big boy Pete' 

The music stopped, there wasn't a sound 

Over in a corner stood a bad man Brown 

Brown smiled and grinned, he said 

My friend, come three steps farther and I'll a do you in 

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

Before I tan your hide 

I got a forty five that keeps me alive 

And seven bullets on my side 

Brown pulled a knife, he jumped on Pete 

They fought from the counter, right a, 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 boy 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 an beat the scene 

Now, if you 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 a big boy Pete, wow
