Old Joe Clark - John Hartford[00:00:00]
Old Joe Clark was a preacher man[00:00:00]
He preached all over the plain[00:00:02]
The highest text he ever took[00:00:05]
Was a high low jack in the game[00:00:07]
Now he came down to my place[00:00:10]
Showed me all of his cards[00:00:12]
Whispered low in his gambler's voice[00:00:15]
It's reallly not too hard[00:00:17]
Said he never had no trouble[00:00:20]
Just walk around wearing a sheet[00:00:22]
Bunch of people wavin' them palm leaves[00:00:25]
To keep Joe Clark from the heat[00:00:27]
Joe Clark now he got nothin' to do[00:00:30]
Got a little old rubber 'cross[00:00:32]
Pickin' up pennies and the folks set fits[00:00:35]
Send and give a little smile from the laws[00:00:37]
Singing get on down to Cain and brother[00:00:39]
There's a lotta good things goin' down[00:00:42]
With a little bit of luck and a couple of bucks[00:00:45]
You could be down there when the glory rolls[00:00:47]
Wake up brother there's a new day comin'[00:00:50]
And it hasn't got time to stop[00:00:52]
If you got the bread you could change your head[00:00:54]
You could be down there when the glory rolls[00:00:57]
Old Joe Clark's got two little girls[00:01:23]
To wash his feet sane[00:01:26]
Old Joe Clark I heard one say[00:01:28]
We'll give you anything[00:01:30]
Let's go down to the church house[00:01:33]
There's a lotta good things goin' down[00:01:35]
The crowd turns over at nine o'clock[00:01:38]
With the cream of the underground[00:01:40]
Singing get on down to Cain and brother[00:01:43]
There's a lotta good things goin' down[00:01:45]
With a little bit of luck and a couple of bucks[00:01:48]
You could be down there when the glory rolls[00:01:50]
Wake up brother there's a new day comin'[00:01:53]
And it hasn't got time to stop[00:01:55]
If you got the bread you could change your head[00:01:57]
You could be down there when the glory rolls[00:02:00]
Well I got this bar and new record[00:02:07]
And they play it in every room[00:02:09]
And got us plenty of light bulbs[00:02:12]
To keep us out of the gloom[00:02:14]
Everyone says right on far out[00:02:17]
And then stands around and laughs[00:02:19]
Guess I better say it too[00:02:22]
Or Joe might kick my ass[00:02:24]
Singing get on down to Cain and brother[00:02:26]
There's a lotta good things goin' down[00:02:29]
With a little bit of luck and a couple of bucks[00:02:31]
You could be down there when the glory rolls[00:02:34]
Wake up brother there's a new day comin'[00:02:36]
And it hasn't got time to stop[00:02:39]
If you got the bread you could change your head[00:02:41]
You could be down there when the glory rolls[00:02:43]
I used to want to be hip so bad[00:03:10]
Be with the folks that know[00:03:13]
But I have me supply of the underwear[00:03:15]
And a little bit stowed below[00:03:17]
I'm really glad that I'm so sad[00:03:20]
So glad I don't feel well[00:03:22]
I'd trade my key to heaven[00:03:24]
If I could safely go to hell[00:03:27]
Singing get on down to Cain and brother[00:03:29]
There's a lotta good things goin' down[00:03:32]
With a little bit of luck and a couple of bucks[00:03:34]
You could be down there when the glory rolls[00:03:37]
Wake up brother there's a new day comin'[00:03:40]
And it hasn't got time to stop[00:03:42]
If you got the bread you could change your head[00:03:44]
You could be down there when the glory rolls[00:03:46]
Now I need an old orpheum five string[00:03:54]
With a twelve inch open back pot[00:03:56]
So the next time you go to the attic[00:03:59]
Look and see what you got[00:04:01]
Or a twelve inch farland open back[00:04:04]
Twenty eight three eighths inch scale[00:04:06]
I wish you'd write[00:04:08]
And let me know[00:04:10]
If you got one for sale[00:04:11]
Singing get on down to Cain and brother[00:04:13]
There's a lotta good things goin' down[00:04:16]
With a little bit of luck and a couple of bucks[00:04:18]
You could be down there when the glory rolls[00:04:21]
Wake up brother there's a new day comin'[00:04:23]
And it hasn't got time to stop[00:04:25]
If you got the bread you could change your head[00:04:28]
You could be down there when the glory rolls[00:04:30]
Now I asked old Joe to manage me[00:04:57]
So I could go and sing[00:04:59]
He said hurry up[00:05:01]
I could wait on him[00:05:03]
And he'd help me do my thing[00:05:04]
Now he calls me every hour[00:05:06]
When I'm trying to be alone[00:05:09]
Just wants to keep me posted[00:05:11]
That there's nothin'[00:05:14]
Goin' on[00:05:15]
Singing get on down to Cain and brother[00:05:16]
There's a lotta good things goin' down[00:05:18]
With a little bit of luck and a couple of bucks[00:05:21]
You could be down there when the glory rolls[00:05:23]
Wake up brother there's a new day comin'[00:05:26]
And it hasn't got time to stop[00:05:28]
Is a high fine daddy with it's heck go ready[00:05:30]
And is gonna be in there when the glory rolls[00:05:33]
