Way Down in Arkansas


Way Down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
Thats where been and Im goin again
Way Down in Arkansas

I had a mule
And he werent no fool
Best mule you ever saw
I heard himsay I think Ill stay
Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas

I got a wife
The joy of my life
And I got a mother in law
I laughed and cried the day she died
Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
Thats where I been and Im goin again
Way down in Arkansas

As I was goin down the road
Comin from Big Platte
I swear I saw a horse fly
Can you imagine that?

Now the strangest sight I ever saw
Was down in Little Rock
Right out there in the open air
I saw a boardwalk

Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
Thats where we been were goin again
Way down in Arkansas

The kind of things you wont believe
In Arkansas is sung
The little Red River has a mouth
My wagons got a tongue

Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
Thats where I been Im goin again
Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
Thats where I been Im goin again
Way down in Arkansas
