Big Boy Pete Songtext
von The Righteous Brothers

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

He busted on through the doorway
Mad as-a he could be
He pulled out his pistol, he turned around
He said, "My name is a Big Boy Pete"

The music stopped, there wasn't a sound
A-over in the corner stood-a, Bad Man Brown
Brown smiled a grin, he said, "My friend"
You take your three steps, I′m gonna, deal you in'

Pete said, "Now listen, here buddy
Before I tan your hide'
I got a .45 to keep 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 and beat the scene)
Now if you′re ever down on the corner
Down on-a Honky Tonk Street

Don't mess with Brown
He′ll cut you down
Take a message from-a Big Boy Pete
