• 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
