Old Joe Clark

(アルバム： Something Special - 1962)

Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. Good-bye, Mitzi Brown
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. I'm gonna leave this town

Old Joe Clark used to clean the bar. Liquor was his pay
Never saved a golden eagle. Drank it all away

Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. Good-bye, Mitzi Brown
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. I'm gonna leave this town

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 singing

Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. Good-bye, Mitzi Brown
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. I'm gonna leave this town

Old Joe Clark walked downtown backwards. People asked him, "Why?"
I come back for one more drink while waving you good-bye!"

Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. Good-bye, Mitzi Brown
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. I'm gonna leave this town
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. I'm gonna leave this town
