GOld Joe Clark the preacher's son
Preached all over the D7plain
The Gonly text he ever knew
Was high low D7Jack and the Ggame

GFare thee well Old Joe Clark
Fare thee well I'm C7bound
GFare thee well Old Joe Clark
Goodbye D7Betsy GBrown

Old Joe Clark had a mule
His name was Morgan Brown
And every tooth in that mule's head
Was sixteen inches round

Fare thee well...

Old Joe Clark had a yellow cat
She would neither sing not pray
Stuck her head in a buttermilk jar
And washed her sins away

Fare thee well...

Old Joe Clark had a house
Fifteen stories high
And every story in that house
Was filled with chicken pie

Fare thee well...

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 a butter

Fare thee well...

Wished I had a sweetheart
Put her on a shelf
And every time she'd smile at me
I'd get up there myself

Fare thee well... X4
