Lyrics:
Nick Reynolds/Bob Shane/John StewartChorus: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)
