Old Joe Clark
Old Joe Clark's dead and gone
Now I wish him well
To make me wear the ball and chain
To make my ankles swell
It's round, round Old Joe Clark
Goodbye Betty Brown
Round, round Old Joe Clark
I'm gonna leave this town
Old Joe Clark killed a man
And throwed him in the branch
And Old Joe Clark's gonna get hanged
Ain't no other chance
Round, round Old Joe Clark
Round, round I say
Round, round Old Joe Clark
I'm gonna leave today
I went down to Old Joe's house
He lived out of town
Every tooth in Old Joe's head
Was smiling a quarter round
It's round, round Old Joe Clark
Goodbye Betty Brown
Round, round Old Joe Clark
I'm gonna leave this town
Wished I had a nickel
And I wished I had a dime
And I wished I had a pretty gal
I'd kiss her all the time
Round, round Old Joe Clark
Round, round I say
Round, round Old Joe Clark
I'm gonna leave today
How did this Beaumont rag go, Woody?
That's pretty hard, and I don't know whether I can play that or not
