Well he walks out in the arena, all dressed up to the brim
Said he just [Bm] came down from [A] a place called Highland Rim
[D] Well he said he came [Gbm] to ride the horse, [G] the one they call [D] the brute
But he didn't look [A] like a cowboy in his continental [D] suit
We snickered at the way he dressed, but he never said a word
He walks on [Bm] by the rest of us [A] as if he hadn't heard
[D] A thousand bucks [Gbm] went to the man [G] that could ride this wild [D] caillou
I mean a horse was never born, then, the one they call the brute
The horse that he was looking for was in chute number eight
He walked up [Bm] very slowly, put [A] his hand upon the gate
[D] We knew he [Gbm] was a thoroughbred [G] when he pulled his [D] sacriduce
From the inside pocket of [E] his continental [D] suit
Well [Eb]
he rolled himself a quillie, [Bb] and he let it [Eb] stand in there
Blew himself [C] a smoke ring and [Bb] he watched it disappear
[Eb] We thought he must [Gm] be crazy [Ab] when he opened up [Eb] the gate
Standing just inside was fifteen hundred pounds of a hate
The buffskin tried to run him down, [Bb] but the stranger [Eb] was too quick
He stepped aside [C] and threw his [Bb] arms around the horse's neck
[Eb] And he pulled himself [Gm] upon the back [Ab] of the horse they [Eb] called brute
Set like he was born there in [Bb] his continental [Eb] suit
The brute's hand was in the air, his front end on the ground
Kicking and [Cm] a squealing, trying [Bb] to shake the stranger down
[Eb] But the stranger [Gm] didn't give an inch, [Ab] he came to ride the brute
[Eb] And he came to ride the buffskin in a continental suit
[E] Well I turned around to look at Jim, [B] and he was [E] watching me
He said, I don't [Dbm] believe the [B] crazy things I think I see
[E] But I think I see the outlaw, [A] the one they call the brute
[E] Ridden by a cowboy in a continental suit
The brute came to a standstill, [A] ashamed that [E] he'd been rode
[Dbm] By a city cowboy [B] in some continental clothes
[E] The stranger [Abm] took his money, [A] and we don't know where he [E] went
We don't know where he came from, and we haven't seen him since
The moral of the story, [B] never judge by [E] what they wear
[Db] Underneath some ragged [B] clothes could be a millionaire
[E] [Abm] Everybody listen, [A] don't be fooled by [E] this galoot
This sure enough wrong foster [B] in a continental suit
[Abm] [E]
