Way Down in Arkansas

[Chorus]
Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
That's where I've been, I'm going again
Way down in Arkansas

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
That's where I've been, I'm going again
Way down in Arkansas

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
That's where we've been, we're going again
Way down in Arkansas

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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
