Generate meaning
1
Well, he walks out in the arena
2
All dressed up to the brim
3
Said he'd just came down from a place
4
Called 'Highland Rim'
5
Well, he said he came to ride the 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
Who 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 looking for
18
Was in chute 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 his sack of 'Dukes'
23
From the inside pocket
24
Of his Continental Suit
25
Well, he rolled hisself a 'Corley'
26
And he lit it standing there
27
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 pulled himself up on the back
38
Of the horse they called 'The Brute'
39
Sit 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', tryin' to
44
Shake this 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 watchin' 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 stand-still
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
This sure 'nough bronc buster
