Bobby Bare - Big Dupree lyrics

Hoddy Holly was a cajun in the town that I was raised in She was something most amazin' 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 pa**in' up temptation ain't the thing that I do best And you know the way things happened one night Dupree was out trappin' And I spent the evening nappin' with her head upon my chest. Then the roar come from a door six foot four maybe more He stood standin' there and starin' 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 ragin' pa**ion he come dashin' smashin' crashin' And I felt his blade come slashin' through my shrieks and screams and groans And there just ain't nothin' worse than what he done to my person And I spend these evenings a cursin' 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...
