Run Pete Run

[Intro]
Hey, all you coon hunters
Speak to 'em, Pete
Man, just listen what a jaw on a dog

[Verse 1]
Well, the dogs out runnin' on a Saturday night
The boss man yellin' everything's all right
We're gonna catch a coon and we're gonna skin 'er
The preacher man's a-comin' for Sunday dinner

[Chorus]
Run, Pete, run as fast as you can
Gotta catch a coon for the preacher man
Run, Pete, run as fast as you can
Gotta catch a coon for the preacher man

[Verse 2]
Sister, get the broom and scrub the walls
Gotta have 'em clean 'fore the preachеr calls
Granny's in the kitchen a-rollin' the dough
Mama's in thе livin' room a-scrubbin' the floor

[Chorus]
Run, Pete, run as fast as you can
Gotta catch a coon for the preacher man
Run, Pete, run as fast as you can
Gotta catch a coon for the preacher man

[Verse 3]
Buddy Lee's in the tater patch a-diggin' up taters
Lisa's in the garden pullin' off maters
Well, Jimmy's on the back porch a-shuckin' the corn
Waitin' for the preacher man to toot his horn

[Chorus]
Run, Pete, run as fast as you can
Gotta catch a coon for the preacher man
Run, Pete, run as fast as you can
Gotta catch a coon for the preacher man

[Outro]
Well, boys, this is one Sunday
The preacher man's not a-gonna get that finger-lickin'-good chicken
He's gonna have him a big coon in him
'Cause my number one coon dog, ol' Pete, has got him treed
Look at him, Raymond, a twenty-five pounder
Speak to him, big man
Listen, what a jaw on a dog
Man, look at that coon, boys
Talk to him, Pete
Speak to him, big man
Look at that big coon, Raymond
Talk to him
