Sides face, grand square
*Well he walks out in the arena all dressed up to the brim
Said he just came down from a place called Highland Rim
Well he said he came to ride the horse, the one they call "The Brute"
But he didn't look like a cowboy in his continental suit

4 ladies chain you turn the girl and then
Chain the ladies right back home and promenade my friend
He pulled himself up on the back of the horse they called "The Brute"
Set like he was born there in his continental suit


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Well I turned around to look at Jim and he was watching me
He said I don't believe the crazy thing 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 moral of this story, never judge by what they wear
Underneath some ragged clothes could be a millionaire
Everybody listen, don't be fooled by this galute
This sure enough bronc-buster in a continental suit


FIGURE    A1, corner progression

Head (side) couples cross trail thru, separate and then
Go around two and make a line, go up and back my friend
Ends only pass thru and then a U-turn back
Everybody star thru and then California twirl
Right & left thru, you turn the girl then roll a half sashay
Swing that corner lady there and promenade that way
The stranger didn't give an inch, he came to ride "The Brute"
And he came to ride the buckskin in a continental suit
