"Now there's some sad things known to man but ain't too much sadder than the tears of a clown"

Sing it, Smokey! This is such a great song, it's pretty obvious (at least to me) that it's about a guy whose girl left him and he's still so sad about it. The 'clown' act is to hide his feelings.

Or maybe he just felt like a clown. That would make anyone cry. S.R. is an amazing artist.
