Il testo della Old joe clark

Nick reynolds/bob shane/john stewart

Chorus:
Fare thee well, old joe clark. good-bye, mitzi brown. fare thee well, old joe clark. i'm gonna leave this town. (repeat last time)

Old joe clark used to clean the bar. liquor was his pay. never saved a golden eagle. drank it all away.

(chorus)

I don't want your old time religion or what you got to say (say) but pass me down that barley jug and i'll be on my way. a singin'

(chorus)

Old joe clark walked downtown backwards. people asked him, "why?"
I come back for one more drink while wavin' you good-bye!"

(chorus)
