Old Joe Clark [Health & Happiness Show One, October 1949] |
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 |
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 |
Old Joe Clark had a yellow cat |
She would neither sing nor pray |
Stuck her head in a buttermilk jar |
And washed her sins away |
Old joe clark had a house |
Fifteen stories high |
And every story in that house |
Was filled with chicken pie |
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 butter |
Wished I had a sweetheart |
Put her on the shelf |
And every time she’d smile at me |
I’d get up there myself |
