Well, I heard these verses on an old recording and I always remembered them. I don't know who the artist was - sorry!

chorus:
Fare thee well, Old Joe Clark
Goodbye, Betsy Brown
Fare thee well, Old Joe Clark
I'm goin' to leave this town

I went down to Old Joe Clark's
Old Joe wasn't home
I ate all Joe's meat and bread
And I gave his dog a bone

I went down to see my gal
She met me at the door
Shoes an' stockin's in her hand
And her bare feet on the floor
