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)
