Arkansas Lyrics

Henry Thomas Arkansas

Oh little honey : don't you make me go

I'll get a job : *if you allow me to*

I am a rambling gambling man : I gamble in many towns

I rambled this wide world over : I rambled and traveled
around

I had my ups and downs in life : and bitter times I saw

But I never knew what misery was : till I left old
Arkansas

I started out one morning : to meet the early train

He says you better work for me : I asked old Liza Jane

I'll give you fifty cents today : *on*

And *yesterday* : *was filled with ice and snow*
