*************** UP IN ARKANSAS ****************
written by Tony Joe White and Ricky Ray Rector
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 2nd fret.
Verse 1:
E
Got me a rocker without no arms
Ol' wood stove to keep me warm
My firewood out of the rain
I sit and watch the seasons change
Verse 2:
E
There's a woman in Little Rock
Got plenty of money down in her sock
She come to see me time to time
We sit on the porch and drink our wine
