They call me Sugarbone Thompson
And I'm going to the rodeo
A German lady on my arm
And I used to live in Hammersmith

They call me Sugarbone Thompson
I ain't lying and I used to be a cowboy
Still am one
Riding on the hilltops

Cos I'm a Brown Hatted son of a bitch
I’m a velvet hatted son of a bitch

Sometime ago I was riding through the canyons
Group of Mexican hats came up to me on horseback
They said “we don’t like to see bad boys like you around here”
I reached down for my long silver pistol
and I taught each and everyone of them a lesson
you know why? I’ll tell you why

cos I’m a Brown Hatted son of a bitch
I’m a Velvet Hatted son of a bitch
I’m Sugarbone Thompson
I won’t hear anything else
