letra de arkansas - henry thomas

oh roberta round, “pack your trunk and go”
yes, he came back home last night
my wife said “honey, i’m done with beans
i’m gonna p-ss for cream.”
oh my little honey, don’t you make me go
i’ll get a job if you allow me sure
i’ll cr-pshoot yes i will shine
good little baby, just let me work
when you buy chicken, all i want is the bone
when you buy beer, be satisfied with foam
i’ll work both night and day
i’ll be careful what i say
honey (what?) please, let me bring my clothes back home

down the track this mornin’ she did stroll
well a accident, her foot got caught in a hole
i’m goin’ to tell you the truth
a natural that poor man
nice girl (but) dresses turn that railroad track is round
i’m going to buy ’em all
cigarettes and chewing tobacco that i can
a natural rover that a’ heavy poor man

i am a ramblin’ gamblin’ man, i’ve gambled in many town
i’ve rambled this wide world over, i rambled this wide world around
i had my ups and downs through life and bitter times i saw
but i never knew what misery was till i left old arkansas

i started out one morning to meet the early train
he said, “you better work with me, i have some land to drain
i’ll give you fifty cents a day, your washing, board and all
and if you’ll be a different man for the sake of old arkansas

i worked six months for the rascal, joe heron was his name
he fed me on corn dodger, it was hard as any rung
