《The Cowboy In The Continental Suit(Single Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Cowboy in the Continental Suit - Marty Robbins

[00:00:04] Well he walks out in the arena

[00:00:06] All dressed up to the brim

[00:00:09] Said he'd just came down from a place

[00:00:11] Called highland rim

[00:00:12] Well he said he came to ride the horse

[00:00:15] The one they call the brute

[00:00:17] But he didn't look like a cowboy

[00:00:19] In his continental suit

[00:00:22] We snickered at the way he dressed

[00:00:24] But he never said a word

[00:00:27] He walks on by the rest of us

[00:00:28] As if he hadn't heard

[00:00:31] A thousand bucks went to the man

[00:00:33] Who could ride this wild cayuse

[00:00:35] A meaner horse was never born

[00:00:37] Than the one they called the brute

[00:00:40] The horse that he was looking for

[00:00:43] Was in chute number eight

[00:00:45] He walked up very slowly

[00:00:46] Put his hand upon the gate

[00:00:49] We knew he was a thoroughbred

[00:00:51] When he pulled his sack of dukes

[00:00:53] From the inside pocket

[00:00:55] Of his continental suit

[00:01:01] Well he rolled hisself a corley

[00:01:03] And he lit it standing there

[00:01:05] Blew himself a smoke ring

[00:01:07] And he watched it disappear

[00:01:09] We thought he must be crazy

[00:01:11] When he opened up the gate

[00:01:13] Standing just inside was

[00:01:15] Fifeteen hundred pounds of hate

[00:01:19] The buckskin tried to run him down

[00:01:21] But the stranger was too quick

[00:01:23] He stepped aside and threw his arms

[00:01:25] Around the horse's neck

[00:01:27] And pulled himself up on the back

[00:01:29] Of the horse they called the brute

[00:01:31] Sit like he was born there

[00:01:33] In his continental suit

[00:01:37] The brute's hind end was in the air

[00:01:39] His front end on the ground

[00:01:41] Kicking and a squealing trying to

[00:01:43] Shake this stranger down

[00:01:45] But the stranger didn't give an inch

[00:01:47] He came to ride the brute

[00:01:49] And he came to ride the buckskin

[00:01:51] In a continental suit

[00:01:57] Well I turned around to look at Jim

[00:01:59] And he was watching me

[00:02:01] He said I don't believe

[00:02:03] The crazy things I think I see

[00:02:05] But I think I see the outlaw

[00:02:08] The one they call the brute

[00:02:10] Ridden by a cowboy

[00:02:11] In a continental suit

[00:02:15] The brute came to a stand still

[00:02:17] Ashamed that he'd been rode

[00:02:19] By a city cowboy in

[00:02:21] Some continental clothes

[00:02:24] The stranger took his money

[00:02:25] And we don't know where he went

[00:02:28] We don't know where he came from

[00:02:30] And we haven't seen him since

[00:02:33] The moral of this story

[00:02:35] Never judge by what they wear

[00:02:37] Underneath some ragged clothes

[00:02:39] Could be a millionaire

[00:02:42] Everybody listen

[00:02:43] Don't be fooled by this galoot

[00:02:46] This sure enough bronc buster

[00:02:48] In a continental suit
