Farethee well Old Joe Clark |
|
Farethee well I say |
|
Farethe well Old Joe Clark |
|
I'm bound go go away |
|
I will not go to Old Joe's house |
|
I'll tell ya the reason why |
|
Every floor in Old Joes's house |
|
Is filled with chicken pie |
|
Old Joe Clark he did take sick |
|
And what do ya think ailed him? |
|
He drank a churn of butter milk |
|
And then his stomach failed him |
|
I will not marry an old maid |
|
And I'll tell ya the reason why |
|
Her neck's so long and stringy boys |
|
I'm afraid she'll never die |
|
Old Joe Clark he did get drunk |
|
And he sat down to his supper |
|
He leaned over at the dinner table |
|
And stoved his nose in the butter |
