Arkansas

There's a faded glow along the great river road

Worn down farm house hanging on the broke down porch

Looking over miles and miles and miles

Walk along the levee silhouetted by the crescent moon

When the sun starts rising, hitting ninety 'fore the clock strikes moon

Don't you know the days and nights?

Dreams drift slowly by

Another Delta dawn, hope worth waiting on

Where that Old Man River flows, as the snow white cotton fields of Arkansas hail

There's a long black train running on a southbound track

Heed that distant whistle blowing when it calls you back

To that hard-hit heartland on the muddy shore

Where that Old Man River flows, as the snow white cotton fields of Arkansas hail

Hope worth waiting for

New Delta dawn, folks round here been hoping for

Where that Old Man River flows, as the snow white cotton fields of Arkansas hail, oh yeah

Watch that Old Man River flow, oh

Watch that Old Man River flow, there's the snow white cotton fields of Arkansas hail

(Watch that Old Man River flow)

Old Man River flow, as the snow white cotton fields of Arkansas hail

(Watch that Old Man River flow)

Old Man River flow, as the snow white cotton fields of Arkansas hail

(Watch that Old Man River flow)

Oh, watch that Old Man River flow, as the snow white cotton fields of Arkansas

(Watch that Old Man River flow)

Oh, watch that Old Man River flow

Ooh, yeah

As the snow white cotton fields of Arkansas
