Arkansas Traveler Lyrics - Michelle Shocked

Hey farmer, you been livin' here all your life, not yet 

Hey farmer, where does this road go? 

Been livin' here all my life, it ain't gone nowhere yet 

Hey farmer, how do you get to Little Rock? 

Listen stranger, you can't get there from here 

Hey farmer, thought you said that mud-hole weren't very deep? 

Only comes up to here on me ducks 

Hey farmer, when you gonna fix that leakin' roof? 

Ah stranger, when it's a rainin' it's too wet to fix it 

And when it's dry it's just as good as any man's house 

Hey farmer, you're not too far from a fool are you? 

Just a barbed-wire fence between us 

Hey farmer, you don't know very much do you? 

No, but I ain't lost
