Verse 1
Am 
Logger Day, Savannah,
Dm 
the menagerie packed its trains
Am 
C 
And left Bitterroot, Montana,
Am 
for those old Nebraska plains
Ticket sales were suffering now,
Dm 
with half the animals gone
Am 
But the circus kept its
C 
course somehow,
Am 
and the show continued on
Dm 
Am 
C 
Am 
Pitched their tents in Battle Creek
Dm 
on a makeshift flatbed stage
Am 
C 
With a draytop shotgun rhino's peak
Am 
and a black broad iron cage
The barkers sprung to action
Dm 
as the band began to play
Am 
C 
To introduce the new attraction
Am 
who they'd picked up on the way
Dm 
Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
C 
the onion
Am 
who they picked up on the way
Dm 
Am 
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
C 
the onion
Am 
who they picked up on the way
Dm 
Am 
This poor boy's a walking chalice
C 
Am 
Yes, it's shocking, have you heard?
From his lonesome yellow childhood
Dm 
So fantastically deformed
Am 
He was battered by his classmates
And saw pain like phantom form
Red medallion fell
Dm 
He sweeps for twelve long rotten years
Am 
If he so much as  skinned his teeth
The entire school howled with tears
Dm 
They found him where he sprouted
Brought in a garden two days' time
Am 
In a carrot stick and celery stalk
C 
Am 
Menage a mirepoix
Now he's jerk or what
Dm 
On the most savory side in town
Am 
All is joking while evoking
Heals of laughter from the crowd
Dm 
Am 
Julien, Julien, Julien the onion
Was not laughing with the crowd
Dm 
Am 
Julien, Julien, Julien the onion
C 
Was not laughing with the crowd
Am 
C 
Dm 
Am 
C 
Am 
C 
Am 
He's jaundiced, faceless, trembling,
Dm 
Am 
beads of sweat begin to fall down his oblong,
loose -backed forehead
to a snuffed out lantern jaw,
his cut chutes sprig of hair,
Dm 
disheveled tiny fists in pearl.
Am 
C 
No, I am not this misshaped body,
Am 
and I'm not long for this world.
Wooden times and quiet fears
Dm 
come curl your lips at me,
Am 
but all perceptions are as mirrors,
it's your own reflections that you see.
So hide behind your laugh,
Dm 
so I'll look handsome,
I know you may,
Am 
oh do  enjoy that saccharine smile
Cause there comes for you a day
