Old Joe smoke is a folk song that Will wrote a parody of. It is mentioned numerous times in The Sorcerer in the North. Will sometimes forgets and sings the parody version called Greybeard Halt. It seems to be very similiar to the real song "Old Joe Clark", an American folk song.

Lyrics

Old Joe Smoke is a friend of mine
He lives on Bleaker hill
Old Joe Smoke never took a bath
And they say He never will!

Fare thee well, Old Joe Smoke
Fare thee well, I say
Fare thee well, Old Joe Smoke
I’ll see you on your way

Old Joe Smoke, he lost a bet
He lost his winter coat
When winter comes, Joe stays warm
By sleeping 'mongst the goats.

Fare thee well, Old Joe Smoke
Fare thee well, I say
Fare thee well, Old Joe Smoke
I'll see you on your way.

Old Joe Smoke, he lives with goats
That’s what I’ve heard tell
He hasn’t changed his socks for years
But the goats don't mind the smell!

Fare thee well, Old Joe Smoke
Fare thee well, I say
Fare thee well, Old Joe Smoke
I’ll see you on your way

Old Joe Smoke is a fighting man
I’ve heard common talk
That Old Joe Smoke, he cuts his hair
With a carving knife and fork!

Fare thee well, Old Joe Smoke
Fare thee well, I say
Fare thee well, Old Joe Smoke
I’ll see you on your way
