charlie haden - old joe clark lyrics
old joe clark, the preacher’s son
preached all over the plain
the only text he ever knew
was high low jack and the game
[chorus:]
fare thee well old joe clark
fare thee well i’m bound
fare thee well old joe clark
goodbye betsy brown
old joe clark had a mule
his name was morgan brown
and every tooth in that mule’s head
was sixteen inches round
[chorus]
old joe clark had a yellow cat
she would neither sing nor pray
stuck her head in a b-ttermilk jar
and washed her sins away
[chorus]
old joe clark had a house
fifteen stories high
and every story in that house
was filled with chicken pie
[chorus]
i went down to old joe’s house
he invited me to supper
i stumped my toe on the table leg
and stuck my nose in the b-tter
[chorus]
wished i had a sweetheart
put her on the shelf
and every time she’d smile at me
i’d get up there myself
[chorus]
