Lyrics:
Robert's appearance is something to behold
Dressed in the finest of store bought clothes
My mamma sews my clothes cause I'm just a poor girl
But
well Old Joe Clark
Fare thee well I'm bound
Fare thee well Old Joe Clark
Goodbye Betsy Brown
Old Joe Clark had a mule
His name was Morgan Brown
when you join the M. Clark School of
Soccer Coaching School: Enraged and inflamed with torment.)
[Chorus]
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
Fare ye well, I say
Fare ye well, Old Joe Clark
I'm a going away
Old Joe Clark, the preacher's son
Preached all over the pain
The only text he
Fare thee well Old Joe Clark
Fare thee well I say
Fare thee well Old Joe Clark
I'm bound go go away
I will not go to Old Joe's house
I'll tell
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
When Robert E Lee surrendered the Confederacy Jefferson Davis was upset about it
He said how dare that man resent an order
Form the president
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
waiting the banjos are syncopating
What's that they're saying, what's that they're saying
Well while they keep playing I'm humming and swaying
It's
a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford
I'm low as a paid assassin is
You know I'm cold as a hired sword
I'm so ashamed can't we patch it up
You know I can't
Fare ye well, I say
Fare ye well, Old Joe Clark
I'm a going away
Old Joe Clark, the preacher's son
Preached all over the pain
The only text he
They say that life is broader based as if we didn't know
While Martin J. and Robert M. play with printer's ink
The workers 'round the world still die
waiting on the levy
Waiting for the Robert E. Lee!
The whistles are blowing, the smokestacks are showing
The ropes they are throwing, excuse me I'm
I know you know
It felt just like a joke
I'm sure you don't know we're talkin'
I know your ghost
I see her through the smoke
She'll play her
waiting on the levy
Waiting for the Robert E. Lee!
The whistles are blowing, the smokestacks are showing
The ropes they are throwing, excuse me I'm

[Guru]
To my man G.O.V., I remember how you used to be
You were the illest man alive
Hey
Look at the way she's wavin' her sail
It's a wondrous sight to see
People hurry on down from every town
Have a look at the Robert E. Lee
anymore
American bandstand, the sullivan show
I listened to the opry on my ra--dee---I--o
Well dick clark's still lookin' as young as before
But I'm
on the levy
Waiting for the Robert E. Lee!
The whistles are blowing, the smokestacks are showing
The ropes they are throwing, excuse me I'm going
and nights in someone else's mind
Could it be I'm not for real?
I've slapped my face to check out how I feel
There's hostages to prove it's true
Who
die, fiddling till I die
Fare thee well Old Joe ClarkFare thee well I say
Fare thee well Old Joe Clark
For I'm a going away
and swaying
It's the good ship Robert E. Lee
That's come to carry the cotton away!
Watch them shuffling along,
See them shuffling along!
Go take
WITH YOUR LOVE ON MY MIND
(Robert Ford)
Here I sit with your love on my mind I'm blue as a man can be
So long ago you told me you'll return
Now
