Arkansas Traveler Songtext

von Jimmy Driftwood

Hey farmer! You been livin' here all your life?
Not yet.

Hey farmer! Where does this road go?
Been livin' here all my life, it ain't gone nowhere yet.

Hey farmer! How do you get to Little Rock?
Listen stranger, you can't get there from here.

Hey farmer! Thought you said that mud-hole weren't very deep?
Only comes up to here on me ducks.

Hey farmer! When you gonna fix that leakin' roof?
Ah stranger, when it's a rainin' it's too wet to fix
It and when it's dry it's just as good as any mans house.

Hey farmer! You're not too far from a fool are you?
Just a barbed-wire fence between us.

Hey farmer! You don't know very much do you?
No, but I ain't lost.
