What they said’s not so
They’ll never let you go

“I’ll never forget the night that Lefty Frizzell
Called me at home back in December of 1974
And sang me a song on the phone that he and Whitey Shaffer had written
Called Bandy The Rodeo Clown
I was really thrilled and flattered that he take enough time
To help write a song just for me
I’m sorry that he couldn’t be around to see how much this song helped me
Before he passed away in August of 1975 shortly after the song was released
It’s a special song to me and I guess it always will be
Here’s another song that I guess is my favorite of all the songs he ever wrote
And I’d like to dedicate it to his memory and my mom and dad”
