Chris Ledoux - Cowboy In The Continental Suit lyrics

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
