Cowboy In The Continental Suit

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
