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 one 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 frown The crowd thinks I'm a dandy, I'm Bandy the rodeo clown (Repeat chorus and last verse to end) Bandy The Rodeo Clown
