Old Joe Clark |
| 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 |
