Drunk bouncer jumping over the corner
Down on Honky Tonk Street
All of a sudden up drove a Cadillac
And out stepped a cat named Pete
Diamond on every finger
He wore a tailor-made suit
Smoked a black cigar, wore his Stetson hat
He wore a pair of cowboy boots
Busted on through the doorway
Bad as he could be
Said, "Don't mess around, I'll cut you down
'Cause my name is Big Boy Pete"
The music stopped, wasn't a sound
Over in the corner stood a bad man Brown
Brown smiled and grinned and said, "My friend"
If you make one, I'm gonna do you in
Pete says, "Look here, buddy
You know I'm gonna tan your hide
I'm loaded with fire to keep me alive
Seven bullets on my side"
Brown pulled a knife, he jumped on Pete
Rolling from the barroom right on out to the street
This one from North, this one from South
Brown cut that black cigar right out of Pete's mouth
Pete hit the ground, yelled and screamed
The band took his Stetson hat and fleed the scene
So if you're ever down on the corner, yeah, down on Honky Tonk Street
Don't mess around, he'll cut you down, take a lesson from Big Boy Pete
Do-do-do-do-do, yeah
Do-do-do-do-do, yeah
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
