Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma
By Don Williams
Chorus:
C F
Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma
C G
It Runs Free And Rambles Muddy And Wide
C F
Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma
C G C
It's Gone Forever And Never Looks Back
F F C
I Met Her In Stillwell She Just Turned Twenty
C G
A Spirited Beauty Like I've Never Known
C F C
And Me A Dirt Farmer Who Lived By The River
C G C
But She Said She Loved Me And The Free Life I Owned
We Married In April And Lived By The River
We Worked That Land From Spring Till The Fall
But I Guess When The Winter Howled At Our Window
She Couldn't Help Hearing That Wild River Call
Chorus
She Tried To Conquer That Wild Rage With-in Her
But Something Too Strong Ran Deep In Her Soul
But I Know She Loved Me She Cried Like A Baby
That Cold Winter Evening She Answered The Call
