Ol' Joe Bryson lived down a dirt road in the holler
No use for no license and that automobile
He got to town on his own two feet

Tough stained hands from raisin' his cattle and t'bacca
And soft -hearted for the shiny clean Cherokee hair
Rosalee could sit on in her rockin' chair

A dollar a day he made at the sawmill by the river
And lost outta work like everyone and taxes comin' due
He heard the news and you know it's the truth

(Bridge)
Back in '29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine

(Chorus:)
He cried, Rosalee I'm leavin' at sunrise
I heard 'em talkin' down at the stockyard
There's jobs up north and I know it
Rosalee I'm walkin' to Detroit
Rosalee I'm walkin' to Detroit
Back in '29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine

Ol' Joe Bryson sent money from Kentucky to the holler
Soft-hearted for the shiny clean Cherokee hair
Rosalee could sit on in her rockin' chair'
Back in '29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine

(Chorus/Bridge)

The years rolled on past the wheels on his chair in the city
No use for no license and that automobile
He's gone to heaven with his own two feet

(Chorus/Bridge)
(Chorus/Bridge)
(Bridge)

Old Joe Clark, he had a house
Eighteen stories high
Ev'ry story in that house
Was filled with chicken pie

Fare ye well, Old Joe Clark
Fare ye well, I say
Fare ye well, Old Joe Clark
I'm a-goin' away

I went down to Old Joe's house
Stayed to have some supper
Stubbed my toe on the table leg
And stuck my nose in the butter

Fare ye well, Old Joe Clark
Fare ye well, I say
Fare ye well, Old Joe Clark
I'm a-goin' away

Raccoon has a bushy tail
'Possum's tail is bare
Rabbit has no tail at all
'Cept a bunch of hair

Fare ye well, Old Joe Clark
Fare ye well, I say
Fare ye well, Old Joe Clark
I'm a-goin' away
