Version 1 of the lyrics

Well the drunken clown's still hanging 'round

by Townes Van Zandt

But it plain the laughter's all died down

The tears you tried so hard to hide

Are flowin'

And a blind man with his knife in hand

The drunken clown's still hanging round

Has convinced himself that he understands

but it plain the laughter's all died down

the tears you tried so hard to hide

are flowin'

A blind man with his knife in hand

has convinced himself that he understands

I wish him well, Miss Carousel

But I gotta be a-goin'

but I gotta be a-goin'

CHORUS:

Won't you come and get me when

You're sure that you don't need me then

you're sure that you don't need me then

I'll stand outside your window

And proudly call your name

and proudly call your name

Well the lady's been told that all of gold

The lady's been told that all of gold

Is worth so much it can't be sold

is worth so much it can't be sold

No time to weep she'll need her sleep

Tomorrow

tomorrow

When she carries her face to the market place

And bets it on the opening race

and bets it on the opening race

She can ring her bells, Miss Carousel

she can ring her bells, Miss Carousel,

But her singing brings me sorrow

but her singing brings me sorrow

Won't you come and get me when

(Repeat Chorus)

You're sure that you don't need me then

I'll stand outside your window

It's always done every mother's son

And proudly call your name

is shown that grown men never run

and so they fight with all the might

Well, it's always done every mother's son

inside them

Is shown that grown men never run

When the battle's been fought

So they fight with all the might

and they all been taught

Inside them

that the trick is just not being caught

Will you give them hell, Miss Carousel,

When the battle's been fought and they all been taught

when they're begging you to hide them

That the trick is just not being caught

Will you give them hell, Miss Carousel

When they're begging you to hide them

Won't you come and get me when

(Repeat Chorus)

You're sure that you don't need me then

I'll stand outside your window

And proudly call your name

When the need arose, your eyes fell closed

When the need arose your eyes fell closed

You clamped your fingers round your nose

you clamped your fingers round your nose

Would you say that's any way

To judge him

to judge him

You haven't got the authority

to kill him in the first degree

but would you feel compelled, Miss Carousel,

if you had something to begrudge him

Well, you haven't got the authority

(Repeat Chorus)

To kill him in the first degree

But would you feel compelled, Miss Carousel

If you had something to begrudge him

On a velvet beach far beneath the reach

Of those that come to pray and preach

of those that come to pray and preach

The natural man who tries to stand

Is fallin'

is fallin'

How long will it be before he sees

Well how long will it be before he sees

you own his legs but his mind is free

You own his legs but his mind is free

Only you can tell, Miss Carousel,

Only you can tell, Miss Carousel

how long will he be crawling?

How long will he be crawling?

(Repeat Chorus)

Won't you come and get me when

You're sure that you don't need me then

The castle wall has grown so tall

I'll stand outside your window

it seems there ain't no hope at all

And proudly call your name

to reach the top even though you stop

for breathin'

Oh, the castle wall has grown so tall

It seems there ain't no hope at all

To reach the top even though you stop

For breathin'

But I ain't gonna try to make you cry

The tear drops couldn't find your eyes

the tear drops couldn't find your eyes

It's all been swell, Miss Carousel

It's all been swell, Miss Carousel,

But the time has come for leavin'

but the time has come for leavin'

Won't you come and get me when

You're sure that you don't need me then

I'll stand outside your window

And proudly call your name

Won't you come and get me when

You're sure that you don't need me then

I'll stand outside your window

And proudly call your name

Won't you come and get me when

You're sure that you don't need me then

I'll stand outside your window

And proudly call your name

Won't you come and get me when

(Repeat Chorus)

You're sure that you don't need me then

I'll stand outside your window

And proudly call your name
