Old Joe Clark lyrics

Farethee well Old Joe Clark Farethee well I say Farethe well Old Joe Clark I'm bound go go away I will not go to Old Joe's house I'll tell ya the reason why Every floor in Old Joes's house Is filled with chicken pie Old Joe Clark he did take sick And what do ya think ailed him?
