The Bully Of The Town

(album: Rides Again - 1977)

Well now have you heard the latest of the bully of the town
He went up late last evening and he shot his woman down
That's why I'm looking for that bully of the town

I'm looking for that bully of the town town town
I ain't gonna stop until I run him down
I'll turn this city inside out and upside down
Boys I'm looking for that bully of the town

Well the sheriff he deputized me put a pistol in my hand
He said watch out cause that bully he's a wild and a wooly man
Hey boys I'm looking for that bully of the town

Well now somebody told that bully that I was out on his trail
He said boys if he ever catches me he's really gonna catch some hell
Don't nobody scare the bully of this town

I'm looking for that bully of the town town town...

Well last Friday night I called on him he just smiled at me and cussed
Then he grabbed his nightstick there but my pistol got him first
Hey Billy boy that bully of the town

I'm afraid nobody recognized him when they laid him in the back of that hearse
I messed him up so bad that Leroy Brown couldn't a hurt him worse
Say goodbye boys to the bully of the town

Well I'm through looking for that bully of the town town town
I swore I wouldn't stop until I run him down
I turned that city inside out and upside down
Till I got my hands on that bully of the town
