What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well, he walked out in the arena,
2
All dressed up to the brim,
3
Said he just came down,
4
From a place called Highland Rim,
5
Well, he said he came to ride a horse,
6
The one they call The Brute,
7
But he didn't look like a cowboy,
8
In his continental suit.
9
We snickered at the way he dressed
10
But he never said a word,
11
He walks on by the rest of us
12
As if he hadn't heard,
13
A thousand bucks went to the man
14
That could ride this wild cayuse,
15
A meaner horse was never born
16
Than the one they called "The Brute."
17
The horse that he was lookin' for
18
Was in shute number eight,
19
He walked up very slowly,
20
Put his hand upon the gate,
21
We knew he was a thoroughbred
22
When he pulled a sack of Dukes,
23
From the inside pocket
24
Of his continental suit.
25
Well, he rolled himself a Quirley
26
And he lit it standing there,
27
He blew himself a smoke ring
28
And he watched it disappear,
29
We thought he must be crazy
30
When he opened up the gate,
31
Standing just inside was
32
Fifteen hundred pounds of hate.
33
The buckskin tried to run him down
34
But the stranger was too quick,
35
He stepped aside and threw his arms
36
Around the horse's neck,
37
And he pulled himself upon the back
38
Of the horse they call "The Brute",
39
Sat like he was born there
40
In his continental suit.
41
The Brute's hind-end was in the air,
42
His front-end on the ground,
43
Kickin' and a-squealin',
44
Trying to shake the stranger down,
45
But the stranger didn't give an inch;
46
He came to ride "The Brute",
47
And he came to ride the buckskin
48
In a continental suit.
49
Well, I turned around to look at Jim
50
And he was watching me,
51
He said, "I don't believe
52
The crazy things I think I see,
53
But I think I see the outlaw,
54
The one they call "The Brute",
55
Ridden by a cowboy
56
In a continental suit.
57
The Brute came to a standstill,
58
Ashamed that he'd been rode,
59
By a city cowboy in
60
Some continental clothes,
61
The stranger took his money
62
And we don't know where he went,
63
We don't know where he came from
64
And we haven't seen him since.
65
The moral of this story:
66
Never judge by what they wear;
67
Underneath some ragged clothes
68
Could be a millionaire,
69
Everybody, listen:
70
Don't be fooled by this galoot,
71
The sure enough bronc-buster
72
In a Continental suit...
