Arkansas Lovin' Man

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Some men were born in poverty some were born with wealth

I was born a lovin' man and I just can't help myself

The women have all made over this old boy ever since I was born

That's why these old Arkansas travelin' shoes are so well worn

I've made quite a name for myself the girls know who I am

I'm a natural actual real authentical Arkansas lovin' man yes I am

Now in every little town that I've been in the story is the same

The girls all keep on a hangin' around playin' them lovin' games

But sometimes I wish them women folks would leave this old boy alone

I've thought about catchin' that next Greyhound back to my Arkansas home

But there ain't no use in kiddin' myself I like the way I am

I'm a natural, actual real, authentical, Arkansas lovin' man

Oh yes I am

Now you look here woman that look in your eyes says maybe you love me so

But if you turn loose of my coatail I'll get my bedroll and go

Cause I ain't nowhere near the kind of a fella that'll settle down

I've got a natural talent for lovin' and I'm gonna spred it around

If I ever come back your way again remember who I am

I'm a natural, actual real, authentical Arkansas lovin' man

I'm a natural, actual real, authentical Arkansas lovin' man yes I am
