Old Joe Clarke's Blues

歌词

• Round and round old Joe Clarke
• Round and round I say
• Round and round old Joe Clarke
• I ain't got long to stay
• Fare thee well old Joe Clarke
• Fare thee well I say
• He'd follow me ten thousand miles
• To hear my fiddle play
• Verses
• Old Joe Clarke the preacher's son
• Preached all over the plain
• The only text he ever used
• Was high low jack and the game
• I went down to old Joe's house
• Never been there before
• He slept on the feather bed
• And I slept on the floor
• Old Joe Clarke he had a dog
• As blind as he could be
• Chased a redbug 'round a stump
• And a coon up a hollow tree
• Old Joe had a yellow cat
• She would not sing or pray
• She stuck her head in a buttermilk jar
• And washed her sins away
• I went down to old Joe's house
• Old Joe wasn't at home
• I ate up all of old Joe's meat
• And left old Joe the bone
• I used to live on mountaintop
• But now I live in town
• I'm boarding at the big hotel
• Courting Betsy Brown
