Arkansas Line    by Elvin Bishop

D
Way down in the country          People sure do get funky  
                        A
Down by the Arkansas Line


Saturday night a big night of cutting shooting and fist fights 
                        D
Down by the Arkansas line

Folks down there really rise the roof  Drinking old grand-dads 100 proof
                        A
Down by the Arkansas Line.

Whiskey flowin just like water  Beer selling for a quarter
                        D
Down by the Arkansas Line.

                      A                                            D
Down by the Arkansas Line  Saturday night oh boy now ain't that sweet
                                        A                     D
Down by the Arkansas Line  won't get me back to Tulsa in 1 piece.   Intermission
D
Folk down there drink home made beer  Things ain't changed in a hundred years
                      A
Down by the Arkansas Line

Now I met a woman and she really did thrill me 
                                                                                 D
But her old man beat me till I begged  him to kill me       Down by the Arkansas Line. 

                        A                                          D
Down by the Arkansas Line  Saturday night oh boy now ain't that sweet
                       A                                      D
Down by the Arkansas Line  won't get me back to Tulsa in 1 piece.
