Big Boy Pete Lyrics

The joint was jumping on the corner Down on Honky Tonk Street All of a sudden up pulled a Cadillac And out stepped a cat named Pete A diamond on 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 Busted on through the doorway Mad as he could be Said, don't mess around, I'll cut you down 'Cause my name is Big Boy Pete The music stopped, there wasn't a sound Over in the corner stood Bad Man Brown Brown smiled and grinned, he said my friend If you take two steps further, I'm going to do you in Pete said look here buddy I know I'm going to tan your hide I got a fourty five, keeps me alive Got seven bullets on my side Brown pulled a knife, 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 out of Pete's mouth Pete hit the ground, he yelled and screamed Then he took his Stetson hat and fleed the scene If you're ever down on the corner Down on Honky Tonk Street Don't mess around he'll cut you down Take a lesson from Big Boy Pete
