According to Lisa Clark's site at http://user.icx.net/~kwc/JoeClark.htm, "Below the hill and in front of the US Post Office at Sextons Creek, stands a Kentucky State Historical Marker, listing this bit of Mountain History: Old Joe Clark - "Mountain ballad, about 90 stanzas sung during World War 1 and later wars by soldiers from eastern Kentucky. Early version as sung in Virginia, printed in 1918. Joe Clark born 1839, lived here; a shiftless and rough mountaineer of that day. His enemies were legion; he was murdered in 1885. In the moonshining days of the 1870s he ran a government supervised still."

	Lyrics 1 Old Joe Clark,the preacher's son Preached all over the plain The only text he ever knew Was high low jack and the game CH: Fare thee well Old Joe CLark Fare thee well I'm bound Fare thee well Old Joe Clark Goodbye Betsy Brown 2. Old Joe Clark he had a mule His name was Morgan Brown And every tooth in that mule's head Was sixteen inches round 3. Old Joe Clark had a yellow cat She would neither sing nor pray She stuck her head in a buttermilk jar And washed her sins away 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 stumped my toe on the table leg And stuck my nose in the butter 6. Wished I had a sweetheart Put her on the shelf And every time she smiled at me I'd get up there myself
