Though the brambles took the cabin I was born in
        Am                                       C
And the briers have claimed the fields I used to plow
          F                          C
There's a yearning in my heart to be going
                G7                 C
To that 40 acre patch God sowed in Stroud 

     Am                        C
Arkansas are your rivers still flowing 
               F                G7
Is your cotton growing white as snow
        F                               C
Are the squirrels still a barking up on Old Crowleys Ridge
        F                            C              Am
Has the girl I was sparking gone and burned another bridge

Arkansas


I have known the troubles I was born to know
       Am                                C
I have wanted things a poor mans born to want
       F                               C
And in all my dreams and memories I go running
                           G7               C
Through the fields of Arkansas from which I sprung

     Am                        C
Arkansas are your rivers still flowing
               F                G7
Is your cotton growing white as snow
       F                               C
Do the young men still fiddle with the thought of growing rich
    F                                C              Am
And slowly turn to old folks sitting whittling on a stick
