Joade The Rodeo Clown - Chris Ledoux[00:00:01]
Gather round boys and a tale[00:00:12]
I will tell about Joade the rodeo clown[00:00:13]
This happy feller keep the cowboys[00:00:19]
Together after they hit the ground[00:00:21]
He once was a fighter and a saddle bronc[00:00:26]
Rider and all around hell of a hand[00:00:30]
But a bull got him down away from[00:00:33]
The clown he lived but not ride again[00:00:36]
But rodeo was burned deep in his soul[00:00:41]
And his heart just wouldn't let go[00:00:45]
He didn't want cowboys hooked[00:00:49]
By the bulls so he took to clowin' the show[00:00:51]
With grease paint and red nose[00:01:02]
And baggy old clothes[00:01:04]
His track shoes barreled and bloomed[00:01:06]
He earned his keep a fightin' the bulls[00:01:10]
And savin' us hard ridin' fools[00:01:13]
I was down in the well and hung in my rope[00:01:17]
In a show in old west Texas town[00:01:21]
The man who saved me from chain[00:01:25]
And hells was Joade the rodeo clown[00:01:27]
The bull gored old Joade[00:01:32]
With his terrible old horns[00:01:34]
Then stomped and mauled him around[00:01:36]
One of my buddies dragged me away[00:01:40]
But Joade lay dead on the ground[00:01:43]
The preacher they found for the funeral well[00:01:50]
He didn't have a whole lot to say[00:01:52]
He didn't know Joade or about rodeo life[00:01:56]
So all he could do was to pray[00:02:00]
There's many a cowboy that owes him[00:02:04]
His life and the children all loved him too[00:02:06]
There were lines on his face[00:02:11]
And each one was a trace[00:02:14]
Of the laughter the miles and the blues[00:02:16]
So barkeep get with it and set em up[00:02:21]
Again I'm buyin' this next round[00:02:23]
And if there's any man here[00:02:28]
Who can't drink to old Joade[00:02:30]
Then he better just get the hell out[00:02:33]
