The Bully Of The Town

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
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, 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
Ha, ha, ha
