Cowboy In The Continental Suit (DR 0010) Bill Reynolds

OPENER

Grand Square
He walked out in the areana, all dressed up to the brim
Said he just came down, from a place called Warrington
Said he came to ride the horse, the one they called the Brute
But he didn't look like a cowboy, in his continental suit
Four Ladies Promenade inside the ring you go
Back home swing and whirl then Promenade you go
* A thousand bucks went to the man that could ride this wild cayuse
* A meaner horese was never born, than the one they called the Brute

FIGURE

Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star roll it round there you go
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time round and then
Same pair and do a Dosado, make an Ocean Wave
Swing Thru and then the Boys you can Trade
Swing the corner lady round and All Promenade
* The horse that he was lookin' for, was in chute number eight
* He walked up very slowly, put his hand upon the gate

MIDDLE BREAK

Grand Square
The buckskin tried to run him down; but the stranger was too quick
He stepped aside and threw his arms around the horses neck
He pulled himself upon the back of the horse they called the Brute
And sat like he was born there in his continental suit
Four Ladies Promenade one time
Swing your girl around and Promenade
The Brute's hind end was in the air, his front end on the ground
A-Kicking and A-Squealin', trying to shake the stranger down

CLOSER

Grand Square
The Brute came to a stand still, ashamed that he'd been rode
By some city slicker in some city clothes
The stranger took his money, we don't know where he went
We don't know where he came from, and we haven't seen him since
(Heads Face Grand Square) The moral of this story, never judge by what they wear
Underneath those Square Dance clothes could be a Millionare
So everybody listen, don't be fooled by the clothes they wear
Underneath those Square Dance Clothes, a cowboy could be hidden there
