Ain't got no hat, ain't got no shoes.
The people here, they treat me fine.
The people here, they treat me fine.
They give me beer and they give
I got the blues, I got them bad
I got the blues, I've got them bad
Somebody stole that gal I had
She's gone, she's gone, away from me
One thing she left, she left me free
I wish I was a turtledove
I wish I was a turtledove
I'd fly away to the gal I love
It's hard to tell what a gal will do.
She'll win your heart and
I'm going back to Arkansas.
We're gonna stay right there,
If you find me sad, please go away
If you find me sad, please go away
Come back again, some other day
