Bully of the Town

Vernon Dalhart

[Verse 1]
Have you heard about the bully that's just come into town
He's rounding up the people and layin' their bodies down
And I'm looking for the bully of the town

[Verse 2]
I just got here from Tennessee, and I can't allow
No redneck rebel roustabout with me to raise a row
And I'm looking for that bully to make him bow

[Chorus]
As I walk this levee round, round round round
Every night I can't be found, found found found
As I walk this levee round
Just lookin' for that bully and he must be found

[Verse 3]
I'm goin' to the corner with my axe in my hand
I'm gonna find that bully and I'll sweep him off the land
And I'm lookin' for that bully to make him stand

[Verse 4]
I'm goin' to the corner, to get my razor blade
I'm gonna find that bully and lay him in the shade
And I'm lookin for the bully of the town

[Chorus]
As I walk this levee round, round round round
Every night I can't be found, found found found
As I walk this levee round
Just lookin' for that bully and he must be found

[Verse 5]
Now when you see me comin' heist your window high
And when you see me goin' hang your head and cry
And I'm lookin' for that bully and he must die

[Verse 6]
My madness keeps arisin' I ain't gonna get left
I'm gettin' so evil I'm scared of myself
And I'm gonna put that bully on a shelf

[Chorus]
As I walk this levee round, round round round
Every night I can't be found, found found found
As I walk this levee round
I'm lookin' for that bully and he must be found
