Qualche volta.....

...sometimes we don't get to choose

the ones who wear these walking shoes

I'm just a poor boy with the blues

no I ain't nothing new.......

Sad Clown

Joe Purdy 

Darling I've been down and out

ever since you left town

I ain't been the same no matter how I try

sometimes we don't get to choose

the ones who wear these walking shoes

I'm just a poor boy with the blues

no I ain't nothing new

I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup

and I'm gonna pick this banjo up

I'm gonna play with the tragedies

singing good time harmonies

Be Wright don't you let me down

play that one called sad clown

You know that ones about me

I've been thinking about leaving town

Well sunshine she came out today

and it don't matter anyways

because I still see the water

that's drippin down my door

I used to hear the children play

I used to hear the birds sing

one day they just stopped

I dont hear them anymore

I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup

and I'm gonna pick this banjo up

I'm gonna play with the tragedies

singing good time harmonies

Be Wright don't you let me down

play that one called sad clown

You know that ones about me

I've been thinking about leaving town

Oh and i got caught in this whistling wind

doing my best to regret these sins

Lord would you forgive me if you know that I'm gonna do it again

it's not that I'm not sorry Lord, it's just that I'm not strong

oh because when that woman looks at me I can't remember right from wrong

I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup

and I'm gonna pick this banjo up

I'm gonna play with the tragedies

singing good time harmonies

Be Wright don't you let me down

play that one called sad clown

You know that ones about me

I've been thinking about leaving town

Sad clown, sad clown

watch the wheels roll around

take that money into town

go buy a drink

sad clown, sad clown

always with that same frown

circus train got you down,

you're thinking about leaving town
