《Old Joe Clarke’s Blues》歌词

[00:00:08] Round and round old Joe Clarke

[00:00:10] Round and round I say

[00:00:12] Round and round old Joe Clarke

[00:00:13] I ain't got long to stay

[00:00:15] Fare thee well old Joe Clarke

[00:00:17] Fare thee well I say

[00:00:19] He'd follow me ten thousand miles

[00:00:21] To hear my fiddle play

[00:00:22] Verses

[00:00:22] Old Joe Clarke the preacher's son

[00:00:24] Preached all over the plain

[00:00:25] The only text he ever used

[00:00:27] Was high low jack and the game

[00:00:30] I went down to old Joe's house

[00:00:33] Never been there before

[00:00:36] He slept on the feather bed

[00:00:40] And I slept on the floor

[00:00:44] Old Joe Clarke he had a dog

[00:00:46] As blind as he could be

[00:00:49] Chased a redbug 'round a stump

[00:00:52] And a coon up a hollow tree

[00:01:09] Old Joe had a yellow cat

[00:01:12] She would not sing or pray

[00:01:14] She stuck her head in a buttermilk jar

[00:01:18] And washed her sins away

[00:01:20] I went down to old Joe's house

[00:01:22] Old Joe wasn't at home

[00:01:24] I ate up all of old Joe's meat

[00:01:27] And left old Joe the bone

[00:01:29] I used to live on mountaintop

[00:01:32] But now I live in town

[00:01:36] I'm boarding at the big hotel
