Who was once a bull hooking son of a gun Now who keeps a pint hid out behind chute number one Who was ridin high till a pretty girl rode him to the ground Any kid knows where to find me I'm Bandy the rodeo clown
In the ridin and the ropin I was closin in on number on Now in dreams at night I ride on that silver saddle I never won. Since she left me the whiskey takes me to the rodeo grounds, Where the cowboys think I'm handy I'm Bandy the rodeo clown.
(Chorus)
I could ride em all The bulls and the broncs knew I was boss But the ride that woman took me on broke a whole lot more Than this old cowboy's bones.
While the tears on my makeup melts my painted smile into a [Am] frown. The crowd thinks I'm a dandy I'm Bandy the rodeo clown
