Arkansas (Manson Charles)

Far, far down Arkansas There lived a squatter with a stubborn jaw His nose was droopy red and his whiskers grey He could fiddle all the night and all the day Came a traveller down a road Ask if he could find an inn Can I find an inn? C'mon, can I find an inn? Far, far down Arkansas Here come a government man talkin' to my pa He told 'im uh, I gots to go to school I gotta learn to be a gosh darn fool Far, far down Arkansas I was a squatter with a stubborn jaw My nose is droopy red an' my whiskers grey 'Cause the Magical Mystery Tour has taken me away Has taken me away Far an' far down Arkansas I was my mother and I was my pa A gov'ment man and a-whiskey still too And everywhere I'm a-lookin' at you Far an' far down Arkansas Are you stubborn look at your droopin' jaw? Look at your droopin' jaw Smile
