Lyrics
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark
Goodbye, Betsy Brown
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark
I'm gonna leave this town
I went down to old Joe's house
He invited me to supper
I stubbed my toe on the table leg
And stuck my nose in the butter
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark
Fare thee well, I say
You'll follow me 10,000 miles
To hear my fiddle play
I would not marry an old maid
I'll tell you the reason why
Her neck is long and stringy, boys
'Fraid she'd never die
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark
Fare thee well, I say
You'll follow me 10,000 miles
To hear my banjo play
I wish I had a sweetheart
I'd set her on the shelf
And every time she smiled at me
I'd climb up there myself
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark
Fare thee well, I say
You'll follow me 10,000 miles
To hear my music play
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark
Goodbye, Betsy Brown
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark
I'm gonna leave this town
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark
Goodbye, Betsy Brown
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark
I'm gonna leave this town
