Here In Arkansas |
| The north wind blows a prairie fire across the open plain |
| A light shines on the granite stone where someone carved my name |
| Sister find the preacherman |
| Daddy call the law |
| Things have gotten out of hand |
| Here in Arkansas |
| An icy ring around the moon a fire across the sky |
| They buried me this afternoon and left me here to die |
| Sister find the preacherman |
| Daddy call the law |
| Things have gotten out of hand |
| Here in Arkansas |
| Sheriff Clark, Reverend Friend, Mrs. Worthington |
| Told my family that I’d be the end to all they’ve done |
| Sister find the preacherman |
| Daddy call the law |
| Things have gotten out of hand |
| Here in Arkansas |
| Mother raised the children and daddy worked the farm |
| I was born the seventh son of the seventh born |
| Sister find the preacherman |
| Daddy call the law |
| Things have gotten out of hand |
| Here in Arkansas |
| All the elders did decree my soul to be unclean |
| They strapped me to a gurney and gave me morphine |
| Sister find the preacherman |
| Daddy call the law |
| Things have gotten out of hand |
| Here in Arkansas |
| Sister walks into the night and prays my soul to save |
| And underneath the cold moonlight she finds my open grave |
| Sister find the preacherman |
| Daddy call the law |
| Things have gotten out of hand |
| Here in Arkansas |
| The north wind blows a prairie fire |
| Here in Arkansas |
