Big Dupree

(앨범: Bare - 1978)

Hoddy Holly was a cajun in the town that I was raised in
She was something most amazing to my inexperienced eyes
But the fact was clearly stated she and Big Dupree was mated
And a dreadful fate awaited anyone who touched his bride.

'Cause he said it loud and clear for all the town to hear
And he nailed it up for all the town to see
That the man who puts his hand upon the hand of Hoddy Holly
Will feel the heavy hand of Big Dupree.

But that dangerous situation worked on my imagination
And passing up temptation ain't the thing that I do best
And you know the way things happened one night Dupree was out trapping
And I spent the evening napping with her head upon my chest.

Then the roar come from a door six foot four maybe more
He stood standing there and staring right at me
He said boy you put your hand upon the hand of Hoddy Holly
Now you'll feel the heavy hand of Big Dupree.

Then crazed by raging passion he come dashing smashing crashing
And I felt his blade come slashing through my shrieks and screams and groans
And there just ain't nothing worse than what he done to my person
And I spend these evenings a cursing him in slightly higher tones.

'Cause he said it loud and clear for all the town to hear
And he nailed it up for all the town to see
That the man who puts his hand upon the hand of Hoddy Holly
Will feel the heavy hand of Big Dupree.

I felt the heavy hand of Big Dupree. ooh...
