WOO!
The joint was a jumpin' on the corner
(Yeah-yeah)
Down on-a Honky Tonk Street
(Yeah-yeah)
When all of a sudden up drove a Cadillac
(Yeah-yeah)
And out stepped a cat named Pete
Diamonds on a-every finger
(Yeah-yeah)
Wore the tailor-made suit
He smoked a black cigar
(So what?)
He wore a Stetson hat
(Yeah)
He wore a pair of cowboy boots
He busted on through the doorway
(Yeah-yeah)
Bad as a-he could be
(Yeah-yeah)
Pulled out his pistol, he turned around
He said, 'My name is-a Big Boy Pete'
The music stopped
There wadn't a sound
A-over in the corner stood-a Bad Man Brown
Brown smiled and grinned
He said, 'My friend, you take your three steps
Forward and I'm 'onna cue you in'
Now Pete, said, 'A-look-a-here, buddy'
(Yeah-yeah)
'Fore, I tan your hide
(Yeah, yeah)
I got a forty-five that keeps me alive
Seven bullets on my side'
Brown pulled a knife, he jumped on Pete
They fought from the counter
Right on out to the street
They swung from north
They swung from south
Brown, cut that black cigar right outta Pete's mouth
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
(Yeah-yeah)
Down on-a Honky Tonk Street
(Yeah-yeah)
Don't mess with Brown
(Yeah-yeah)
He'll cut you down
Take a message from-a Big Boy Pete
Um-um, um-hm-hm-hm
(Yeah-yeah)
Um-um, um-hm-hm-hm
(Yeah)
FADES-
Um-um, hm-hm-hm.
