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 ou...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
