Lyrics:
The drunken clown's still hanging round
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'
Won't you come and get me when
You're sure that you don't need me then
I stand outside your window
And proudly call your name
The ladies been told that all of gold
Is worth so much it can't be sold
No time to weep she'll need her sleep
Tomorrow
When she carries her face to the market place
And bets it on the opening race
She can ring her bells, Miss Carousel
But her singing brings me sorrow
It's always done every mother's son
Is shown that grown men never run
And so they fight with all the might
Inside them
When the battle's been fought and they all been taught
That the trick is just not being caught
Will you give them hell, Miss Carousel
When they're begging you to hide them
When the need arose your eyes fell closed
You clamped your fingers round your nose
Would you say that's any way
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 have something to begrudge him
On a velvet beach far beneath the reach
Of those that come to pray and preach
The natural man who tries to stand
Is fallin
How long will it be before he sees
You own his legs but his mind is free
Only you can tell, Miss Carousel
How long will he be crawling?
The castle walls has grown so tall
Seem 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 eye
It's all been swell, Miss Carousel
But the time has come for leavin'

i work in retail and a coworker of mine plays townes van zandt and other classic country singers on Sundays due to it usually being a wind-down day, country fitting that sort of thing more than the eclectic playlists of what we would otherwise have on. now, country and folk is not my first pick of music, but these songs rock and im eternally grateful for my coworker for introducing them to me
This is as good as anything Bob Dylan has ever written.
Steve Earl said , "Towns van Zandt is the greatest song writer ever and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and tell that to him."
@@jamiehenry3135 It is not necessary to bring that quote in all of Townes' songs. Getting pretty sick of the comparison. Why can't Townes be himself without being compared? Both Dylan and Townes are amazing songwriters. Enjoy them both.
@@stynershiner1854 Keep scrolling then I guess? The other guy mentioned the comparison so I shared a relative quote that I thought was funny. So how does this work? Since your the internet police do I get off with a warning this time or are ya going to rough me up a little bit? Is there a fine involved?
@@jamiehenry3135 For every person who quotes this in every TVZ song, CO² increases in the atmosphere. No wonder we have global warming.
@@stynershiner1854 Thank you for your unneeded and unsolicited opinion.
This whole album is so well written. Townes was such a great composer and storyteller
Well I ain’t gonna try to make you cry, the teardrops couldn’t find your eyes. Poetry.
This might be his best album? Every song is a gem!
Our Mother the Mountain is pretty decent too. But hey, who's quibbling. Let's just enjoy. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
@@guywilletts2804 It is. Those are definitely his best two albums.
one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
What absolute perfection.
You just don't get any better than TVZ. My adoration for him peaks more than for Dylan and I don't care who knows it.
I wouldn't say I adore one more than the other, they are both amazing in their own ways. But I sure do love Townes.. I almost feel his lyrics are more relatable. And his poetry is so beautiful, and not so cryptic as Dylans. I think Townes background is almost more interesting, and it paints a picture of why Townes is Townes.
When she carries it all to the marketplace and bets it on the opening race. She can ring her bell Miss Carousel.
Mr. Dylan, you still, have so much to learn.
A once great paradise of all possibilities, soon becomes our tombs the place where none despite their longings can leave, to their growing aggression . Anyway that is my interpritation of this brilliant, brilliant song.
I miss him
30K views? That's near a crime.
Now almost 40'000.
Most of them Mine.
and a saturated mediocre mumble rapper gets 6 million lol!
@@greenmanalishi6963 Nobody said life is fair.
Fare thee well, Mr’ townes van zandt
A tough hit in the chest. That's where I'm at right now.
This song has so much depth ..made me teary 😢
TVZ is my rebuttal to the "anything except country" folks.
"AND PROUDLY CALL YOUR NAME" ❤❤❤
Brilliant I hear definitely some Harrison style sound to one, good song.
