Bobby Bare Lyrics

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 passin' 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' passion 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...

I felt the heavy hand of Big Dupree ooh
