so, he wasn't a "Slave." He WAS a hired hand - in the form of an indentured servant. Now, for all practical purposes - that was similar to slavery, but still not slavery. Also, this song is not a "Cover with a few new words added" it's an original song. You may have been confused as there are several songs written about the music man, Old Joe Clark.
Enjoyed the heck out of this! It was posted on the Sing Out! email list because we've been talking about different versions of this song.

Ok, I ragged on Matt Flinner on the other video, but his banjo solos are very nice here.
