Clarissa Jones (LP版) - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]

Clarissa Jones got bit on the heel[00:00:18]

By a rat and she hit it with a broom [00:00:20]

He ran to the corner and stood[00:00:22]

There grinning like he owned the god damn' room [00:00:24]

Clarissa Jones threw an iron at the rat[00:00:27]

And the rat just seemed to say "Fine "[00:00:29]

He twitched his tail in the corner and said [00:00:31]

"You've got to go to sleep sometime "[00:00:33]

Clarissa Jones's kid aged 16 hated his heavy old shoes [00:00:45]

He wanted fine strides like the studs on the street [00:00:48]

And they'd know he'd been paying his dues [00:00:51]

Clarissa Jones's kid got busted [00:00:53]

She was three days gettin' the news [00:00:55]

They gave him a meal a shower[00:00:57]

And a uniform and two old heavy shoes [00:00:58]

Clarissa Jones where are you going [00:01:01]

It's cold and the wind is blowing through your bones [00:01:03]

And where where where is your man [00:01:07]

Clarissa Jones [00:01:12]

Clarissa Jones carried bedpans swept up [00:01:26]

Changed sheets and mopped the halls [00:01:28]

The doctors said she was a very good worker [00:01:30]

Clarissa Jones knew them all [00:01:32]

Now Clarissa Jones sits in her window[00:01:34]

With her paper reading how they burned the next street flat [00:01:36]

She's reading about the trouble [00:01:38]

She ought to write a letter saying[00:01:40]

"Hey it never happened like that "[00:01:42]

Clarissa Jones where are you going [00:01:43]

It's cold and the wind is blowing through your bones [00:01:45]

And where where where is your man Clarissa Jones [00:01:50]

Mr William Hawkins rose early shaved [00:02:06]

Dressed carefully and drank his tea [00:02:10]

He hit the desk at nine thanks to the Board of Opportunity [00:02:12]

On his very first day this boss went[00:02:16]

To great lengths to make him feel at home [00:02:18]

And his first assignment was a disposses on Miss Clarissa Jones [00:02:21]

Clarissa Jones where are you going [00:02:25]

It's cold and the wind is blowing through your bones[00:02:27]

And where where where is your man Clarissa Jones [00:02:32]

Ah where where where is your man Clarissa Jones[00:02:38]
