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 |
|
3x: |
|
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 |
