WINO THE CLOWN

WRITERS RON HELLARD, CURLY PUTMAN, BUCKY JONES

|
Chorus:
|
He's got a funny red nose, old baggy pants
|
When he staggers down the street it's a funny little dance
|
Children gather 'round as he falls down
|
Everybody laughs at wino the clown.
|
|
They just don't know the reason why
|
But when she died, he died inside
|
He lost all his will to live
|
And he had no use for pride.
|
Not even all his children's love
|
Could bring him back again
|
He just crawled into a bottle
|
Now he's waiting for the end.
|
|
Chorus:
|
He's got a funny red nose, old baggy pants
|
When he staggers down the street it's a funny little dance
|
Children gather 'round as he falls down
|
Everybody laughs at wino the clown.
|
|
They laugh when he comes down the street.
|
Stumbles all alone.
|
At they way he smiles and holds his arm
|
Just as if someone's holding on.
|
They all think he's lost his mind
|
talking to thin air
|
Ah, but only me and my daddy knows
|
That mama's walking there.
|
|
Chorus:
|
He's got a funny red nose, old baggy pants,
|
When he staggers down the street it's a funny little dance
|
Children gather 'round when he falls down
|
Everybody laughs at wino the clown.
|
|
But I never laugh when my daddy falls down
|
I'll always love wino the clown...
