| Broke down in St. Robert, stuck in Missouri
|
| Mister won’t you help me 'cuz I’m in a hurry
|
| Be on my way back to Arkansas
|
| Could be tomorrow, or the day after
|
| Hope it’s sooner than later, cuz mister I have to
|
| Be on my way back to Arkansas
|
| Worried don’t mean a thing
|
| You been cryin' since late in the fall
|
| If I don’t see you in the spring
|
| I might see you in the summer
|
| Close to New Orleans baby
|
| I might not be back all
|
| Sunshine in the morning
|
| So much to me
|
| Today I headed westward
|
| East Tennessee
|
| Be on my way
|
| Back to Arkansas
|
| Went to Chicago
|
| Could you call my name
|
| Went to Ohio
|
| And it’s all the same
|
| So I be on my way
|
| Back to Arkansas
|
| Worried don’t mean a thing
|
| You been cryin' since late in the fall
|
| I don’t see you in the spring
|
| I might see you in the summer
|
| Close to New Orleans baby
|
| I might not be back all
|
| You been cryin' since late in the fall
|
| I don’t see you in the spring
|
| I might see you in the summer

| Close to New Orleans baby
|
| I might not be back all
|
