Way Down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas

That's where I've been, I'm going again

Way down in Arkansas

Oh, I had a mule and he worked no fool

The best mule you ever saw

I heard him say, "I think I'll stay"

Down here in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas

I had a wife, the joy of my life

And I had a mother in-law

I laughed and cried the day she died

Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas

That's where I've been, I'm going again

Way down in Arkansas

As I was going down the road

Coming from Big Flat

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 board walk

Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas

That's where we've been, we're going again

Way down in Arkansas

We'll tell you things you won't believe

Before this song is sung

The little red river has a mouth

My wagon's got a tongue

Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas

That's where I've been, I'm going again

Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas

Way down in Arkansas

That's where I've been, I'm going again

Way down in Arkansas
