Tekst piosenki
Darling i've been down and out
ever since you left town
I aint been the same no matter how i try
sometimes we dont get to choose
the ones who wear these walking shoes
I'm just a poor boy with the blues
no I ain't nothin new
I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup
and i'm gonna pick me some banjo up
I'm gonna play with the tragedies
singing good time harmonies
B Wright dont 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 dont matter anyways
cuz i still see the water
thats 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 me some banjo up
I'm gonna play with the tragedies
singing good time harmonies
B Wright dont 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
doin my best to regret these sins
Lord would you forgive me if you know that i'm gonna do it again
its not that i'm not sorry Lord, its just that im not strong
oh cuz when that woman looks at me i cant remember right from wrong
I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup
and i'm gonna pick me some banjo up
I'm gonna play with the tragedies
singing good time harmonies
B Wright dont 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 bout leaving town
