about

Written and performed by Tash Rialto

lyrics

Hmm, we buried him up there on Boot Hill, right by the point he fell. Shot by Three Fingered Jack. Wasn’t no surprise to any of us. That clown was gonna get it sooner or later. Most folks was just sore they weren’t the one to give it to ‘im. Anyhow, Three Fingered Jack caught him up there foolin’ aroun’ with his girl. Shot ‘im dead on sight. Hmmm, that damned clown. Always up in folk’s faces. Thought ‘e was funny. Never worked a day in his life. Thought he was doin’ people a service, tryin’ a make ‘em laugh. I didn’t see what was supposed to be so funny. Ridin’ roun’ on that darn stoopid horse, makin’ strange noises, pieces fallin’ off it all the time. Comin’ up to us in the bar: huge pants, curly damned wig, and where in hell’d ‘e find all that make-up from anyways? Not even the girls over at the dance hall could muster up half that much face paint between ‘em for a whole week, let alone everyday.

I nearly shot ‘im myself just yesterday. Came up to me in the bar, asked me if I was thirsty. I’d been out workin’ the cattle all day so I said “hell yeah”. Damned son of a bitch squirted me in the neck with a flower he had on his multi-coloured lapel. If it hadn’t been for the sheriff drinkin’ next to me… Well, anyways, Three Fingered Jack got to ‘im first. Jack’s girl said they was jus’ foolin’. He was showin’ ‘er some jugglin’ tricks, and how to fall down right without hurtin’ yerself. Well, I hear he fell down all right. Jack said he thought that clown was armed. Turns out the gun ‘e had, ya pull the trigger, an’ out pops a liddle red flag with the word “Bang!” wridden on it.

Well, that clown had no business up here anyways. Should a stayed in the circus.
