The Day That The Circus Left Town lyrics

I waved to the man with the golden baton And I waved through the rain pouring down And I waved 'till the last of the music was gone The day that the circus left town My heart still recalls when it seems to my mind That my heart only knows how to frown How my heart almost broke when they left me behind The day that the circus left town I asked for a job, doing anything Feed the elephants, carry water, anything But the man said he didn't have anything And turned me away, turned me away And away went the lions and the tigers so wild And away went my beautiful clown And away went my very last day as a child The day that the circus left town I asked for a job, doing anything Feed the elephants, carry water, anything But the man said he didn't have anything And turned me away, turned me away And away went the lions and the tigers so wild And away went my beautiful clown And away went my very last day as a child The day that the circus left town
