- RODEO CLOWN
-
- Most times he’s been a rider,
- he knows the bulls so well,
- he zigs an’ zags around ‘em
- before those cowboys yell
-
- The critter’s bent on killin’ him
- an’ the man upon his back,
- that’s why the clown in funny clothes
- sets out to quick distract
-
- He wears a red bandana
- an’ cut off
Wrangler
jeans,
- cowboy boots
up to the knee,
- a polka-dot shirt of green
-
- A big ol’ hat, pulled way down low,
- an’ face paint, red ‘n white,
- he dances ‘round that angry bull,
- to give the crowd a fright
-
- Folks come an’ pay their money
- to watch the rodeo,
- an’ are never disappointed
- when the clown gives them a show
-
- Clowns also are protective
- of cowboys ridin’ bronc’s,
- then, after
dust....
is settled,
- they meet in honky-tonks
- .
- It’s not an’ easy livin’,
- they’re always on the road,
- an’ most admit it punishment
- for wild-oats they have sowed
-
- These men are always roughnecks,
- where do they get the nerve
- to stand in front of Brahmas,
- roll in barrels, dodge ‘n swerve
-
- They represent true bravery,
- let’s give those clowns their due,
- but when the rodeo’s over
- I’ll sure bet
they’re black an’ blue…
