His name was Morgan Brown
And every tooth in that mule's head
Was sixteen inches round

She would neither sing nor pray
Stuck her head in a buttermilk jar
And washed her sins away

Chorus

4. Old joe clark had a house
Fifteen stories high
And every story in that house
Was filled with chicken pie

5. I went down to Old Joe's house
He invited me to supper
I stumped my toe on the table leg
And stuck my nose in the butter<

Chorus

6. Wished I had a sweetheart
Put her on the shelf
And every time she'd smile at me
I'd get up there myself

Chorus

To banjo hraje starej Clark a o něm se mi zdává

Hraj hraj Old Joe Clark je nám i tobě fajn

Než rupla brána do dvora to jakej tam měl nával

Na placku leží slepice co zval ji Mitzi Brown
