The Story of Reuben Clamzo and His Strange Daughter in the Key of A (Live)

Arlo Guthrie

Oh poor old Reuben Clamzo
Clamzo, boys, Clamzo
Oh poor old Reuben Clamzo
Clamzo, me boys, Clamzo

Oh, Reuben was no sailor
Clamzo, boys, Clamzo
So they shipped him on a whaler
Clamzo, me boys, Clamzo

Because he was no beauty
Clamzo, boys, Clamzo
He would not do his duty
Clamzo, me boys, Clamzo

Because he was so dirty
Clamzo, boys, Clamzo
We gave him five and thirty
Clamzo, me boys, Clamzo

Oh Reuben Clamzo's daughter
Clamzo, boys, Clamzo
She begged her dad for mercy
Clamzo, me boys, Clamzo

She brang him wine and water
Clamzo, boys, Clamzo
And a bit more than she oughta
Clamzo, me boys, Clamzo

Well he got his seaman's papers
Clamzo, boys, Clamzo
He's a terror to the whalers
Clamzo, me boys, Clamzo

And he sails where 'er the whalefish blow
Clamzo, boys, Clamzo
As the hardest bastard on the go
Clamzo, me boys, Clamzo

Oh poor old Reuben Clamzo
Clamzo, boys, Clamzo
Oh poor old Reuben Clamzo
Clamzo, me boys, Clamzo
