Arkansas chords by Dom Flemons
Verse 1
We're going to do
Gm
for you the tune
G
Arkansas, a little medley,
D
and so we've got two
G
bits of dialogue.
Gm
G
And so it goes like this here, it goes,
Alba turn around, pack your trunk and go,
yes he came back home last night, he say,
F
G
my wife says honey
I'm done with beans,
I'm going to passenger train,
here's what he say, oh my little honey
don't you make me go,
F
I'll get a job if you allow me,
G
sure, she say
All crapshooters, I will shun
Go on, baby, and let me
rest, he say
When you got a chicken,
all I want is the bone
When you got a bear,
I'd be sad if I were foam
I work both night and day
Em
G
Gm
I be careful what I say
G
Honey, what?
Please, let me bring my clothes back
C
home, narrator
G
D
G
Down the track this mornin' she strolled
With an accident her foot got
caught in a hose
Here she goes off now
I'm gonna tell you the truth
A natural lovin' coal man
Wastin' my precious time
The rail track he run
I'm gonna buy them all cigarettes
I get a pack of when I can
"'Cause matches and troubles
are heavy on a man."
Verse 2
He said,
G
Bb
G
I am the ram blin' gamblin' man
I've gambled through many towns
Verse 3
I've rambled this wide world over
A
I've rambled and rambled around
G
I've had my ups and downs in life
Verse 4
And bitter times I saw
G
F
But I never knew what bitterness was
G
Till I left old Arkansas
Now I started out one morning
to meet that early train
Am
G
A man, said, you better work for me,
Am
I have some land to drain
G
I give you fifteen cents a day,
you're washing clothes at all
And I swear you'll be a different man
in the state of old Arkansas
So I worked six months for the rascal,
Joe Heron was his name
He fed me old corn dodger.
It was hot as any rock now
My two was all broke looser,
and then it began to fall out
That was the kind of ash cake they had
in the state of old, Arkansas Aria
Traveling man,
I travel all around this world
G
Traveling man,
G
Am
I traveled every land to land
G
Traveling Man,
I've traveled all around this world,
now there ain't no use, start no news
G
cause I'm Traveling Man.
