Old Joe Clark

Old Joe Clark - Jimmie Driftwood

Old Joe Clark's a rough old man

Mean as he can be

He knocked me down with his right hand

And walked all over me

Git out of the way for Old Joe Clark

Hide that jug of wine

Git out of the way for Old Joe Clark

He's no friend of mine

Old Joe Clark he used to be

The biggest bum in town

Till Andrew Johnson appointed him

The marshal of the town

He's pull out the wine

He's pull out the breeze

And you oughta hear him brag

But all good rebels know that he's

A lowdown scalawag

Git out of the way for Old Joe Clark

Hide that jug of wine

Git out of the way for Old Joe Clark

He's no friend of mine

When Old Joe Clark comes to my door

He treats me like a pup

He runs my bear dogs under the floor

And drinks my whiskey up

He puts his banjo in my hands

And tells me what to play;

Dances with my pretty little girl

Until the break of day

Git out of the way for Old Joe Clark

Hide that jug of wine

Git out of the way for Old Joe Clark

He's no friend of mine
