Way Down in Arkansas The New Christy Minstrels

[Chorus]
Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
That's where I've been, I'm going again
Way down in Arkansas

[Verse 1]
Oh, I had a mule and he worked no fool
The best mule you ever saw
I heard him say, "I think I'll stay"
Down here in Arkansas

[Chorus]
Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas

[Verse 2]
I had a wife, the joy of my life
And I had a mother in-law
I laughed and cried the day she died
Way down in Arkansas

[Chorus]
Way down in Arkansas
Way down in Arkansas
That's where I've been, I'm going again
Way down in Arkansas
