The Cowboy In The Continental Suit chords by Marty Robbins


Marty Robbins Chords

marty robbins

C) Well, he walked out in the arena 
   All (G) dressed up to the (C) brim
Said he's just came (Am) down 
   From a (G) place called Highland Rim
Well, he (C) said he came to (Em) ride the horse
   The (F) one they called The (C) Brute
But he didn't look (G7) like a (C) cowboy 
   In his (G) Continental (C) Suit.

We snickered at the way he dressed but he never said a word
He walked on by the rest of us as if he hadn't heard
A thousand bucks went to the man that 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 thoroughbred when he pulled a sack of Dukes

He rolled himself a Quirley and he lit it standing there
He blew himself a smoke ring and he watched it disappear
We thought he must be crazy when he opened up the gate
Standing 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
He pulled himself upon the back of the horse they called "The Brute"
Sat like he was born there in his continental suit.

The Brute's hind end was in the air, his front end on the ground, 
Kickin' and a-squeelin' - trying to shake the stranger down 
But the stranger didn't give an inch - he came to ride "The Brute"
And he came to ride the buckskin in a continental suit.

Well, I turned around to look at Jim and he was watching me 
He 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 continental suit."

The Brute came to a standstill - ashamed that he'd been rode 
By a city cowboy in some continental 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
Ev'rybody, listen - don't be fooled by this galoot
The sure enough bronc-buster in a Continental Suit
