Thread Name: Old Joe Clark. THE folk song/tune?
Subject: RE: Old Joe Clark. THE folk song/tune?
Some of the Joe Clark verses given here seem related to the Carter Family's 'Chawin', Chewin' Gum', i.e.
I wouldn't marry a doctor
Tell you the reason why
He drives around the country
And makes the people die.

I wouldn't marry a lawyer
Tell you the reason why,etc, etc.

I haven't heard them sung in Joe Clark. Not to say they wouldn't fit.
