George Jones Wino The Clown lyrics

He's got a funny red nose, old baggy pants
When he staggers down the street
It's a funny little dance, children gather 'round as he falls down
Everybody laughs at Wino the clown

They just don't know the reason why
But when she died, he died inside
He lost all his will to live
And he had no use for pride

Not even all his children's love
Could bring him back again
He just crawled into a bottle
Now he's waiting for the end

He's got a funny red nose, old baggy pants
When he staggers down the street
It's a funny little dance, children gather 'round as he falls down
Everybody laughs at Wino the clown


They laugh when he comes down the street
Stumbles all alone
At the way he smiles and holds his arm
Just as if someone's holding on

They all think he's lost his mind
Talking to thin air
Ah, but only me and my daddy knows
That mama's walking there

He's got a funny red nose, old baggy pants
When he staggers down the street
It's a funny little dance, children gather 'round when he falls down
Everybody laughs at Wino the clown

But I never laugh when my daddy falls down
I'll always love Wino the clown
