| lyric | 1. Oh, I went down to Old Joe clark's
I'd not been there before,
he slept upon a feather bed
and I slept on the floor.
Ref.: Farethewell, Old Joe Clark,
farethewll, I'm goin,
farethewell, Old Joe Clark,
goodbye Lucy Long.
2. Oh I went down to Old Joe’s house.
But old Joe was n’t home.
I at up all of Joes ham meet
and throwed away the bone.
3. Oh, I went down to Old Clark’s,
I found him sick in bed,
I fetched some water from the spring
and poured it on his head.
4. And that’s the end of Old Joe Clark,
Now he is dead and gone,
Yes that’s the end of Old Joe Clark
as well as Lucy Long. |
