《Old Joe Clark》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Joe Clark - John Hartford

[00:00:00] Old Joe Clark was a preacher man

[00:00:02] He preached all over the plain

[00:00:05] The highest text he ever took

[00:00:07] Was a high low jack in the game

[00:00:10] Now he came down to my place

[00:00:12] Showed me all of his cards

[00:00:15] Whispered low in his gambler's voice

[00:00:17] It's reallly not too hard

[00:00:20] Said he never had no trouble

[00:00:22] Just walk around wearing a sheet

[00:00:25] Bunch of people wavin' them palm leaves

[00:00:27] To keep Joe Clark from the heat

[00:00:30] Joe Clark now he got nothin' to do

[00:00:32] Got a little old rubber 'cross

[00:00:35] Pickin' up pennies and the folks set fits

[00:00:37] Send and give a little smile from the laws

[00:00:39] Singing get on down to Cain and brother

[00:00:42] There's a lotta good things goin' down

[00:00:45] With a little bit of luck and a couple of bucks

[00:00:47] You could be down there when the glory rolls

[00:00:50] Wake up brother there's a new day comin'

[00:00:52] And it hasn't got time to stop

[00:00:54] If you got the bread you could change your head

[00:00:57] You could be down there when the glory rolls

[00:01:23] Old Joe Clark's got two little girls

[00:01:26] To wash his feet sane

[00:01:28] Old Joe Clark I heard one say

[00:01:30] We'll give you anything

[00:01:33] Let's go down to the church house

[00:01:35] There's a lotta good things goin' down

[00:01:38] The crowd turns over at nine o'clock

[00:01:40] With the cream of the underground

[00:01:43] Singing get on down to Cain and brother

[00:01:45] There's a lotta good things goin' down

[00:01:48] With a little bit of luck and a couple of bucks

[00:01:50] You could be down there when the glory rolls

[00:01:53] Wake up brother there's a new day comin'

[00:01:55] And it hasn't got time to stop

[00:01:57] If you got the bread you could change your head

[00:02:00] You could be down there when the glory rolls

[00:02:07] Well I got this bar and new record

[00:02:09] And they play it in every room

[00:02:12] And got us plenty of light bulbs

[00:02:14] To keep us out of the gloom

[00:02:17] Everyone says right on far out

[00:02:19] And then stands around and laughs

[00:02:22] Guess I better say it too

[00:02:24] Or Joe might kick my ass

[00:02:26] Singing get on down to Cain and brother

[00:02:29] There's a lotta good things goin' down

[00:02:31] With a little bit of luck and a couple of bucks

[00:02:34] You could be down there when the glory rolls

[00:02:36] Wake up brother there's a new day comin'

[00:02:39] And it hasn't got time to stop

[00:02:41] If you got the bread you could change your head

[00:02:43] You could be down there when the glory rolls

[00:03:10] I used to want to be hip so bad

[00:03:13] Be with the folks that know

[00:03:15] But I have me supply of the underwear

[00:03:17] And a little bit stowed below

[00:03:20] I'm really glad that I'm so sad

[00:03:22] So glad I don't feel well

[00:03:24] I'd trade my key to heaven

[00:03:27] If I could safely go to hell

[00:03:29] Singing get on down to Cain and brother

[00:03:32] There's a lotta good things goin' down

[00:03:34] With a little bit of luck and a couple of bucks

[00:03:37] You could be down there when the glory rolls

[00:03:40] Wake up brother there's a new day comin'

[00:03:42] And it hasn't got time to stop

[00:03:44] If you got the bread you could change your head

[00:03:46] You could be down there when the glory rolls

[00:03:54] Now I need an old orpheum five string

[00:03:56] With a twelve inch open back pot

[00:03:59] So the next time you go to the attic

[00:04:01] Look and see what you got

[00:04:04] Or a twelve inch farland open back

[00:04:06] Twenty eight three eighths inch scale

[00:04:08] I wish you'd write

[00:04:10] And let me know

[00:04:11] If you got one for sale

[00:04:13] Singing get on down to Cain and brother

[00:04:16] There's a lotta good things goin' down

[00:04:18] With a little bit of luck and a couple of bucks

[00:04:21] You could be down there when the glory rolls

[00:04:23] Wake up brother there's a new day comin'

[00:04:25] And it hasn't got time to stop

[00:04:28] If you got the bread you could change your head

[00:04:30] You could be down there when the glory rolls

[00:04:57] Now I asked old Joe to manage me

[00:04:59] So I could go and sing

[00:05:01] He said hurry up

[00:05:03] I could wait on him

[00:05:04] And he'd help me do my thing

[00:05:06] Now he calls me every hour

[00:05:09] When I'm trying to be alone

[00:05:11] Just wants to keep me posted

[00:05:14] That there's nothin'

[00:05:15] Goin' on

[00:05:16] Singing get on down to Cain and brother
