Wild Billy's Circus Story Lyrics

Wild Billy's Circus Story Song Chart

This was inspired by the Clyde Beatty/Cole Brothers circus that visited Springsteen's hometown of Freehold, New Jersey every summer.

Springsteen was intrigued by the constant travel of the circus, a lifestyle similar to his as a touring musician.

The elephant trumpet was simulated by a tuba played by Garry Tallent.

The last line is "All aboard, Nebraska's our next stop." Springsteen released his album Nebraska in 1982.
