Bandy The Rodeo Clown
By Moe Bandy

G                                    Am 
Who was once a bull hooking son of a gun
    D                                            G
Now who keeps a pint hid out behind chute number one
G                                                      Am
Who was ridin’ high till a pretty girl rode him to the ground
    D                                               G
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:
C                                       D                 G
I could ride ‘em all, the bulls and the broncs knew I was boss 
        A7
But the ride that woman took me on broke a whole lot more than this old 
         D    
cowboy's bones
          G                                                Am
While the tears on my makeup melts my painted smile into a frown
    D                                             G
The crowd thinks I'm a dandy, I'm Bandy the rodeo clown
