George Jones - Wino The Clown lyrics

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 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...
