CThough the brambles took the cabin I was born in
And the Ambriers have claimed the fields I used to Cplow
There’s a Fyearning in my heart to be Cgoing
To that 40 acre G7patch God sowed in CStroud 
ArkanAmsas are your rivers still Cflowing 
Is your cotton Fgrowing white as G7snow
Are the Fsquirrels still a barking up on COld Crowleys Ridge
Has the Fgirl I was sparking gone and Cburned another Ambridge
ArkanCsas
I have known the troubles I was born to know
I have Amwanted things a poor mans born to Cwant
And in Fall my dreams and memories I go Crunning
Through the fields of ArkanG7sas from which I Csprung
ArkanAmsas are your rivers still Cflowing
Is your cotton Fgrowing white as G7snow
Do the Fyoung men still fiddle with the Cthought of growing rich
And Fslowly turn to old folks sitting Cwhittling on a Amstick
ArkanCsas
