|
He walked out in the arena all dressed up to the brim |
|
Said he just came down from a place called Highland Rim |
|
Well he said he came to ride the horse the one they called the Brute |
|
But he didn't look like a cowboy in the continental suit |
|
We snickered at the way he dressed but he never said a word |
|
He walked on by the rest of us if he hasn't heard |
|
A tousand bucks went to the man who could ride this wild cayuse |
|
A meaner horse was never born than the one they called the Brute |
|
The horse that he was lookin' for was in chute number eight |
|
He walked up very slowly put his hand upon the gate |
|
We knew he was a throughbred when he pulled a sack o'Deuce |
|
From the inside pocket of his conetinential suit |
|
He rolled himself a quirly and he lit it standin' there |
|
Blew himself a smoke ring and he watched it disappear |
|
We thought he must be crazy when he opened up the gate |
|
Standin' just inside was fifteen hundred pounds of hate |
|
The buckskin tried to run him down but the stranger was too quick |
|
He stepped aside and threw his arms around the horse's neck |
|
And he pulled himself upon the back of the horse they called the Brute |
|
Sat like he was born there in his continential suit |
|
The Brute's hind end was in the air his front end on the ground |
|
Kickin' and a squealin' tryin' to shake the stranger down |
|
But the stranger wadn't give an inch he came to ride the Brute |
|
And he came to ride the buckskin in a continential suit |
|
I turned around to look at Jim and he was watchin' me |
|
Said I don't believe the crazy things I think I see |
|
But I think I see the outlaw the one they call the Brute |
|
Ridden by a cowboy in a continential suite |
|
The Brute came to a standstill ashamed that he'd been rode |
|
By some city cowboy in some continential clothes |
|
The stranger took his money and we don't know where he went |
|
We don't know where he came from and we haven't seen him since |
|
The moral of this story never judge by what they wear |
|
Underneath some ragged clothes could be a millionaire |
|
So everybody listen don't be fooled by this galoot |
|
This sure enough bronc rider in his conetinential suit |
