Arkansas Traveler
I say -"Farmer, Farmer!"
I say -"Farmer!"
-"Can you tell me where this road goes to?"
-"Well, it ain't moved since I've been here"
-"What I mean, Farmer
Is how do I get to Little Rock?"
-"Little Rock? I don't know 'bout no Little Rock
But there's a whopper down in my Spring Ranch!"
-"Farmer, I say... hum
Your corn looks mighty yellow and bad!"
-"Yep! We planted the yellow kind!"
-"Farmer! How did your taters turn out this year?"
-"It didnt turn out a tall, me and Sal had to dig 'em out!"
-"Farmer! You know there's no much difference between you and a fool!"
-"No! Just the difference between my yard and a fence"
-"Farmer! You just start to play the second part of that tune
And why you didn't go on with it?"
-"Ill tell truth, Stranger, I dont know the rest of that tune
I heard it played downtown a little while
Back when a show passed through
But all I can an remember is the first part"
-"Farmer, y'know I know the rest of that tune
Let me play the banjo a while"
-"Oh, you play the banjo!
Step right up here, sit down and stay all night!
Sal! Set the table!
We got a gent here to play the banjo! Let's hear it now"
I say -"Farmer!"
-"Can you tell me where this road goes to?"
-"Well, it ain't moved since I've been here"
-"What I mean, Farmer
Is how do I get to Little Rock?"
-"Little Rock? I don't know 'bout no Little Rock
But there's a whopper down in my Spring Ranch!"
-"Farmer, I say... hum
