[Intro]
GOhhooooo FOhoooo COhoo GOhoooo
GOhhooooo FOhoooo COhoo GOhoooo
[Verse 1]
If GGeneral McAllister Cgave up the wars
And Dall of the people went Gback to their chores
Then Fall the kings horses and Call the kings men could go Ghome
[Verse 2]
If Gall of the people were Con the same side
There'd be Dno need to run, there'd be Gno need to hide
And Fall of us here in our Cgrey tattered coats could go Ghome
[Pre-Chorus]
If you'd Cjust listen sir once aGgain
To the Creasons of one of your Gmen
It could Cmake all these things come to Gpass
And I could Flay on CArkansas Ggrass
[Chorus]
CHome, Dhome, Ggo it Emalone to the Csound of the Dmilitary Gbrass
CHome, Dhome, Glover's aEmlone,   Flayin' on CArkansas Ggrass
[Break]
GOhhooooo FOhoooo COhoo GOhoooo
GOhhooooo FOhoooo COhoo GOhoooo
[Verse 3]
So bGravely we marched, both the Cgrey and the red
To Dlick 'em first time Glike the good general said
With Fnary a thought that Cso very few would go Ghome
[Verse 4]
If it Gweren't so wrong for a Csoldier like me
To Dthrow down his gun and Grun to be free
Then Fall of us here with the Cfear in our eyes could go Ghome
[Pre-Chorus]
If you'd Cjust listen sir once aGgain
To the Creasons of one of your Gmen
It could Cmake all these things come to Gpass
And I could Flay on CArkansas Ggrass
[Chorus]
CHome, Dhome, Ggo it Emalone to the Csound of the Dmilitary Gbrass
CHome, Dhome, Glover's aEmlone,   Flayin' on CArkansas Ggrass
[Outro]
FLayin' on CArkansas Ggrass (x7)
CHome, Dhome, Glover's aEmlone, Flayin' on CArkansas Ggrass
