The Lyrics

Today’s AMIRIGHT.com trivia question is:

Who played the uncredited role of court bailiff in the movie True Grit?
(answer below)


In swaggers Rooster
Walking pigeon toed slightly
With his silk black eyepatch
He’s a U.S. Marshall
He’s got grit up to his teeth
When bringing in outlaws
He don’t need a posse

DUTY! DUTY! DUTY!

He likes his liquor
He eats corn meal dodgers
With his trigger finger
He shot Lucky Pepper
He loads five live rounds, one empty
He can’t shoot his foot off with accuracy
ROOSTER COGBURN
RIDES PROUD
for bounty

DUTY! DUTY! DUTY!

There’s no discussing
When he gets to tussling
And while serving papers
He rides on ‘Ole Dollor
He’s got grit up above his reach
ROOSTER COGBURN
HUNTS DOWN
those who’ve breached


He’s weSTERN justice
Tempered with combatin’
He’s no table manners
Eatin’ round a campfire
Cannot keep it going or the outlaws will creep
ROOSTER COGBURN
LIGHTS OUT
while they sleep

DUTY! DUTY! DUTY!

POW!

[solo]

ROOSTER COGBURN! ROOSTER COGBURN! ROOSTER COGBURN!
[repeat over solo until end]
